Instructions

How to make Apple Pie Oatmeal in Instant Pot

Grease the sides and bottom of the Instant Pot with cooking oil spray. You can rub the tablespoon of oil all around too. This step ensures that the oats don't stick to the pot and cause burn message.
Add all of the ingredients to the pot (with the exception of the toppings)
Close the lid and place the valve to SEALING. Choose Manual High-Pressure Cooking for 10 minutes. After Instant Pot finishes cooking and goes to keep warm timer, press cancel so the cooking stops and the pressure cooker is off.
Allow the steam release naturally for 10 minutes. Then move the valve to VENTING so leftover pressure will be released before opening the pot.
Stir the oatmeal gently so all the flavors mix well. Serve the oatmeal in bowls topped with chopped walnuts and pumpkin seeds. Bon Appetit!!

How to Make Stovetop Apple Pie Oatmeal (10 Minutes)

In a small saucepan, combine oats, liquid, apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring often.
Stir in maple syrup and serve with toppings like nut butter or chopped nuts.

Notes

Instant Pot Apple Pie Oatmeal Pro Tips

Do not perform a Quick Pressure Release when making this recipe. Oats foam up while cooking so they will splatter around if you do immediate quick pressure release.
Do not let the Instant Pot go to KEEP WARM setting after it beeps when finished cooking. You should just turn it off. Keep warm setting may turn into oats getting burned at the base since they keep cooking further.
To avoid BURN message, do not stir the ingredients. Also, if you use regular milk, cook with water only and then add warm milk after it's finished cooking.
