Ingredients
- 1-2 TBSP butter unsalted
- 2 cups apple Honey Crisp variety, peeled, diced
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 1.5 cups water no dairy in the IP as it burns easy, or almond milk
- 1 cup apple juice 100%
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- cinnamon to taste, extra 1/4-1/2 tsp
- ⅛ tsp pumpkin pie spice optional but DELICIOUS!
Instructions
- Set your Instant Pot to SAUTE function and add your butter.
- Once butter has melted add your apples. Top with 1/4 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of salt and sauté until tender, approx. 4-5 minutes. Remove apples and set aside.
- To help prevent sticking spritz the IP's stainless steel liner with spray oil (we love coconut or avocado oil) or rub with butter if preferred.
- Add steel cut oats, water, apple juice, and most of your cinnamon apples. Save about 1/2 cup or so of apples for topping your oats - YUM
- Lock lid and cook on manual high heat for 10 minutes. When the timer beeps, quick-release the pressure (using the release valve) until float valve drops.
- Unlock lid and stir oatmeal, which will appear super watery at first but thickens as it cools. Stir in pecans, an additional 1/4 tsp, and maple syrup. Spoon the cooked oats into two bowls and top with cinnamon apples. You can drizzle a little milk over the oats if you'd like or top with extra crushed pecans and cinnamon. I've recently been topping my oatmeal with homemade granola too and adore the oat-on-oat combo.

Notes
- I added 2 TBSP pure maple syrup and extra cinnamon to mine. If you're accustomed to a sweeter oatmeal, feel free to use a little brown sugar to taste. For less sweetness feel free to use a tart apple variety like Granny Smith. The apple juice in this recipe also adds a kiss of sweetness to the recipe (which I love!)
- If you're making any major changes to the recipe and fairly new to the Instant Pot, shoot me a comment or email and I'd be happy to help guide you!
