Ingredients

• 6 cups Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Make sure there are no clumps of brown sugar.

Step 4

Pour the melted butter over the dry mixture and add the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a crumbly topping.

Step 5

Sprinkle the peanut butter oat mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish, covering them completely.

Step 6

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the dish from the oven and let the crisp cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
