Directions: Apple Cinnamon Baked PROatmeal from Ascent Athlete Ali Riley 

• Preheat oven to 350*F. 
• Core your apples & dice them into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Place the oats, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt into a 8x8 greased baking dish. Mix with a fork until combined. Add the milk, applesauce, vanilla and maple syrup, if using. Stir to combine all of the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Stir in the apple. 
• Back for about 35 minutes, until firm to the touch. 
• Serve immediately by scooping out desired portions and adding milk and syrup to your liking. 
• If not consuming immediately, allow the PROatmeal to cool completely before cutting into bars. Store the bars in the refrigerator in an airtight container or resealable bag for up to 5 days. Enjoy cold or reheated in the microwave, checking on it every 15 seconds until it reaches desired temperature.
