Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 60 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 cups apples, peeled and sliced
  2. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  4. 1 cup rolled oats
  5. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  6. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  7. 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss gently until the apples are evenly coated. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, create the peanut butter crumble topping. Mix the rolled oats, remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, softened butter, and creamy peanut butter.
  4. Use a fork or pastry cutter to combine the crumble ingredients until they form a crumbly, slightly clumpy texture. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
  5. Sprinkle the peanut butter crumble evenly over the prepared apple mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
  6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
  8. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The crisp can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.

Tips

  1. Choose the Right Apples: Use firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor balance.
  2. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and peanut butter are softened to create a smooth, easily mixable crumble topping.
  3. Don't Overmix: When creating the crumble, stop mixing when you have a slightly clumpy texture - this ensures a crispy, crunchy top.
  4. Even Coverage: Spread the apple mixture and crumble topping evenly for consistent baking and perfect texture in every bite.
  5. Cooling is Crucial: Let the crisp rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and make serving easier.
  6. Serving Suggestion: Elevate your dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  7. Storage Tip: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven to maintain the crisp's texture.
