Steel Cut Oatmeal with Apples

This recipe can be made in the slow cooker OR Instant Pot, and it's great for a quick nutritious breakfast. Put this in the crockpot at night and just serve in the morning. Or if you have time in the morning, you can make this using a pressure cooker like the Instant Pot. As opposed to traditional oatmeal, the steel cut variety is less processed (it’s basically the oat kernel cut in 2-3 pieces). Steel cut oats have a nutty flavor and an interesting texture when cooked well. Generally oatmeal has a low glycemic index. This means the energy that you get is released more slowly and evenly, so you feel full longer. I love having this in the wintertime especially.
