Satisfy your sweet tooth and indulge in a comforting dessert with this Peanut Butter and Apple Crumble—a delightful twist on the classic fruit crumble that brings rich, nutty flavors to your table. Juicy, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are tossed with cinnamon and a splash of lemon juice, then crowned with an irresistible topping of creamy peanut butter, rolled oats, brown sugar, and buttery crumble. The combination of warm, spiced apples and a golden, peanut butter-infused crunch creates a dessert that’s both rustic and crave-worthy. Quick to prepare in just 15 minutes, this dish bakes to perfection in under 35 minutes, offering a deliciously gooey yet crisp treat. Serve it warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dreamy fall-inspired dessert that’s perfect for family gatherings or casual weeknight indulgence.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss until evenly coated, then transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Stir to mix.
Add the peanut butter and cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands to work the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the salt and vanilla extract, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the crumble topping.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling underneath.
Let the crumble cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
