Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 22 minutes
Servings 3 -4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Steel Cut Oats Do not use instant oats or old-fashioned oats for this cooking method
  • 1 cup Almond Milk I like sweetened vanilla
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 Gala apples
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar for apples
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar for oatmeal after its cooked

Instructions
 

  • Wash and chop apples into bite size pieces. No need to peel.
  • Turn the Instant Pot on to saute mode. Add butter to the instant pot. Once butter is melted add chopped apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir well and allow apples to cook for 3 minutes. Once apples have cooked for a few minutes, remove to a separate bowl and set aside.
  • Turn off saute mode and add steel cut oats, milk, water and salt to the instant pot. Stir well and while you’re stirring scrape up any brown sugar that may have stuck to the bottom of the instant pot *(this step is very important to keep from getting a burn notice on the Instant Pot).
  • Add the Instant Pot lid and turn the pressure valve to the sealing position. Pressure cook on high for 4 minutes. Once the 4 minutes is complete, allow it to natural pressure release for 15 minutes.
  • Carefully turn the pressure release valve to “venting” to quick release the rest of the pressure.
  • Remove the lid and stir in brown sugar or maple syrup to sweeten the oatmeal.
  • Serve oatmeal with cooked cinnamon apples and enjoy! Oatmeal will naturally thicken as it sits.

Notes

Be sure to only use Steel Cut Oats for this cooking method
I use this recipe for meal prep. I will eat a big bowl and meal prep 2 bowls for later. When it’s time to warm up a bowl the next day, I like to add a little more milk when warming it up to make it creamy again as it naturally thickens over time.
