Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 apples (your choice of variety)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 6 tablespoons brown sugar (use less if desired)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups oats (old-fashioned, NOT quick)
  • 3 ½ cups water

Instructions
 

  • Chop apples into ½-inch square cubes. 
  • Turn on Instant Pot saute mode. Melt butter and saute apples for 3 minutes.
  • Cancel saute mode. 
  • Add the rest of the ingredients
  • Press porridge mode and set the time for 1 minute. Make sure the vent is in the "sealing" position (see note). 
  • When the Instant Pot beeps, carefully move the vent to the "venting" position. I use a wooden spoon to do this to avoid burns. Let it vent completely before opening. 

Notes

  • The Instant Pot will take a few minutes to pressurize and de-pressurize; you don't need to push anything to make this happen. It will happen automatically. 
  • Sometimes the IP can give a burn notice when cooking oatmeal. I don’t have this problem in my 6 quart but I have had reports of it happening in the 8 quart. The oatmeal will not burn, but it may be golden brown on the bottom. This is normal and fine.
  • Don't try to freeze this oatmeal as it will become very mushy when thawed.
  • For an added delicious taste and texture, you can top the oatmeal with nuts (pecans, walnuts, or almonds) or dried fruit (raisins or cranberries) after cooking.
