Apple Pie Baked Oats

First, prepare the cinnamon apple topping. Cook the 1/4 diced apple, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon on medium heat for 5 minutes or until soft. Set aside. For the oats, combine all ingredients (rolled oats, milk, protein powder, chia seeds, banana, baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon) except for the cream cheese and the prepared apple topping in a blender. Blend on high until a smooth consistency occurs. Place half of the oat mixture into an oven-safe bowl. Place the 1 tbsp cream cheese in the center, then cover with the remaining half of the oat mixture. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes. Once baked, top with the spiced apples.
