How to Make Apple Crisp with Peanut Butter

  1. Start with thinly sliced apples. I prefer Fuji apples but you can choose your favorite kind.
  2. Place the apple slices in a large plastic bag along with the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and water. Close the bag and shake vigorously to coat the apples with the mixture. (You can do this in a bowl as well, the bag is just faster and a little more fun!)

  1. Place the coated apples in a baking dish, an 8 by 8 casserole dish is the perfect size. If you use a larger dish like the pie pan like my photo above I would recommend adding one more apple to the bottom to fill it up.
  2. Now for the topping! Mix the oats, brown sugar, peanut butter, and butter in a bowl, then pour evenly over the apples.
  3. Bake for forty-five minutes in the oven and you have a delicious, peanut-buttery fall dessert!

  1. I don’t care for peanut butter and was wondering if I can substitute almond butter for the peanut butter. I know it doesn’t have the same creamy texture and is more grainy but do you think it would work in this recipe?

    1. I haven’t tried it Gail but I would think it would be fine. If you do try I’d love if you came back and let us know how it turned out! ~Melissa

  2. i am no baker and had some apples lying around almost going bad and decided to make this today for my boyfriend and i — we loved it! so happy i landed on your blog. we loved the peanut butter in it! =) i took some pics & posted it on my blog! =)

    THANK YOU!

  3. This recipe is delicious! I made a few adjustments due to the fact that my husband and I follow a vegan diet, but it was amazing! I used maple syrup instead of sugar and water in the apples, and just excluded the butter from the topping all together. I will definitely be making this again. It was super easy, and only uses ingredients I always have on hand!
    P.S. It’s extra good with homemade coconut milk ice cream on top 🙂
