Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
Instant Pot (click for my favorite)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon salted butter 14 grams (⅛ stick)
1 cup Gluten-Free Steel Cut Oats 176 grams, NOT quick-cooking
2 cups water 454 grams
½ cup apple cider 114 grams (NOT apple cider vinegar!!) - SEE NOTE
2 tablespoons brown sugar 27 grams
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3 grams
1 large apple peeled, cored, and diced

Optional Garnishes

Fresh whipped cream
Diced apple
Walnuts

Instructions

Set your pressure cooker to "saute" and add in butter. Allow butter to melt, spreading it across the bottom of the instant pot.
1 tablespoon salted butter
Add in the oats and stir to coat in the butter. Stir continuously for approximately 2 minutes or until the oats are starting to toast.
1 cup Gluten-Free Steel Cut Oats
Pour in the water, cider, brown sugar, cinnamon, and apple. Stir to combine.
2 cups water, ½ cup apple cider, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 large apple
Switch instant pot to "pressure cook" and set for 8 minutes.
When it's done cooking, allow to sit closed for 5 minutes, naturally releasing some of the steam. Then press the release and allow the remaining steam to leave the pot.
Open the pot (be careful!) and stir to freshen up the oatmeal. Doesn't it smell amazing?!
Serve hot topped with fresh whipped cream, more diced apple, and walnuts if desired.
Fresh whipped cream, Walnuts, Diced apple

Notes

Apple Cider: If you don't have apple cider, you can skip this and use 2½ cups of water in total.
To freeze oatmeal, spoon into individual wells of a muffin tin and freeze until solid, about 2 hours. Transfer to an airtight container or Ziplock bag.
Nutritional information does not include optional garnishes.

Storage: Store instant pot apple pie oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
