Steps:

• Combine apple cider, cinnamon sticks, lemon zest, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice in the inner pot of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Ladle mulled cider into cups and sweeten with honey. Garnish with lemon slices and additional cinnamon sticks.

Steps:

• Place onion, celery, baby carrots, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor; pulse to coarsely chop.

• Pour the cider over the chops and secure the pressure cooker lid onto the pot.
• Bring to high pressure (15 lbs) over medium heat, adjusting the heat to maintain the pressure (according to the cooker's manufacturer's instructions) and cook at that pressure for 17 minutes.
