Lightly grease the bowl of an electric pressure cooker or slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the steel cut oats, apple cider or water, cinnamon, salt and shredded apple.
To cook in the pressure cooker: Secure lid, making sure vent is in the "seal" position. Select "Multigrain" function or high pressure and adjust time to 10 minutes. Once time is up, allow pressure cooker to natural release for 15 minutes. Then manually release the rest of the pressure and carefully open the lid.
To cook in the slow cooker: Cover with lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or or high for 3-4 hours.
Stir oatmeal well after cooking. Serve with toasted pecans, a drizzle of maple syrup and apples.
- If you use water instead of the apple cider, consider adding 2 tablespoons of brown sugar for a touch of sweetness.
- To toast nuts, stir pecans in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly browned and fragrant.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week. To reheat, add a splash of water, apple cider, or milk, stir, and microwave for 2-3 minutes until hot.
