A delightful twist on the classic apple crumble, this recipe incorporates the rich flavor of peanut butter for a comforting dessert.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
Greasing the dish ensures the crisp doesn't stick and makes cleanup easier.
Peel, core, and slice the apples, then place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor.
Add the peanut butter, cinnamon, and granulated sugar to the apples and mix until evenly coated.
Warming the peanut butter slightly can make it easier to mix.
Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Ensure the apples are evenly distributed for consistent baking.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and butter, mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use your fingers to mix the topping for a more crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture.
Press the topping gently to ensure it adheres to the apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Check the crisp halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Let the crisp cool slightly before serving.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
