Butter-Toasted Steel-Cut Oats with Dried Apples
Cooking steel-cut oats in a pressure cooker means the grains tenderize quickly, without any stirring and without any risk of boiling over, making this breakfast staple a breeze to prepare. To build rich flavor, we start by cooking a couple tablespoons of butter until fragrant and nutty, then toast the oats, along with a small measure of allspice, in the browned butter to bring out notes of butterscotch and caramel. Dried apples add tangy, fruity flavor; their texture softens as they cook with the oats.

Tip
Don’t use rolled oats, not even slower-cooking old-fashioned rolled oats, as they will turn mushy. Steel-cut oats are much sturdier and can stand up to pressure cooking. Also, keep a close eye on the butter as it cooks because goes quickly from brown and nutty to scorched.

01On a 6-quart Instant Pot, select More/High Sauté. Add the butter and cook, stirring, until it begins to smell nutty and the milk solids at the bottom begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the oats and allspice, then cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and toasted, about 3 minutes. Add 5½ cups water, the apples and salt; stir to combine, then distribute in an even layer.
Really tasty recipe, gonna try it with cinnamon instead of allspice next time.
