Apple Cinnamon Protein Bars




These have to be my all time fav' for fall, when we crave everything cinnamon and pumpkin spice.  These are perfect as an on-the-go meal replacement. Or, if you're craving something desserty, smother a loaf with Jello brand sugar-free pudding, and it is unbelievably delicious, or should I say "Legalicious"?!
