How To Make Instant Pot Apple Pie Oatmeal

Steel Cut and Butter in Instant Pot

In your Instant Pot bowl, add the steel-cut oatmeal and butter.

Then press the saute button. Continue to saute until all of the butter has melted; remember to keep on stirring, as the butter will burn if you don’t stir.

Add Rest of Ingredients To Instant Pot Bowl

Add the water, diced apples, apple pie spice, and brown sugar. Add your lid (make sure it’s in the sealing position). Set manual high pressure for 5 minutes. When the time is up, do a natural pressure until L10, and then do a quick release.

 

This is a straightforward way to have homemade apple oatmeal. Next time I am going to add some ground cinnamon to the ingredient list. My son topped his off with a few diced apples and a shake of cinnamon sugar.

Pro Tips:

  • This recipe was prepared in the Instant Pot, but the recipe will work exactly the same in the Ninja Foodi or any other pressure cooker.
  • Make sure to stir your steel-cut oats while they are cooking up. Otherwise, they will burn.

Some Great Topping Ideas:

You can top this off with anything that you want. Some great options are diced almonds, pecans, or even coconut flakes.

My kids love an Instant Pot Easy Apple Pie Oatmeal bowl with freshly diced apples, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. That brings all of the fall flavors to light.

How To Make This Gluten-Free:

If you want to make this a gluten-free recipe, change the recipe for Gluten Free Stel Cut Oats. My son is a big fan of Bob’s Red Mill, which has a great flavor and texture.

ARE STEEL-CUT OATS BETTER THAN ROLLED OATS?

Many people are wondering if steel-cut oats are better than rolled oats. This article will discuss the differences between these two types of oatmeal and help you determine which is best for your dietary needs.

Steel-cut oats have a larger particle size, making them chewier in texture when cooked. They also take longer to cook than rolled oats because they need to be soaked overnight before cooking – this makes them perfect for those who prefer a slow-cooked breakfast.

However, with the Instant Pot or Pressure cooking, you do not need to soak them overnight!

These oats offer excellent fiber, protein, and iron; however, they do not contain as many vitamins as their rolled counterparts due to soaking for so long. Rolled oats are typically thinner in shape, making them softer in texture when cooked.

CAN YOU REHEAT INSTANT POT APPLE CINNAMON OATS?

Yes, you can reheat Instant Pot apple cinnamon oats. You need to do it carefully! The best way to reheat the Instant Pot oatmeal is by putting it in a microwave-safe dish and then microwaving for about 1 minute.

Having your meal prepared before leaving the house is a game-changer for any mom on the go. Plus, with all of the prepped ingredients that come with an instant pot recipe (like apples and cinnamon), this breakfast will taste as if you made them from scratch! So what are you waiting for? Get cooking now!

HOW LONG DO APPLE CINNAMON OATS LAST?

When the family has finished eating Instant Pot Easy Apple Pie Oatmeal, let them cool to room temperature and place them into an aright container. Placed in the refrigerator, these will last 2 to 3 days.

For best results, place the leftover Instant Pot Easy Apple Pie Oatmeal into a small saucepan, add about 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk, and heat until warmed through.
