How to Make Apple Crisp with Peanut Butter
Start with thinly sliced apples. I prefer Fuji apples but you can choose your favorite kind.
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!)
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.
Now for the topping! Mix the oats, brown sugar, peanut butter, and butter in a bowl, then pour evenly over the apples.
Forty-five minutes in the oven and you have a delicious, peanut-buttery fall dessert!
If you try it please let me know how you like it! This recipe is about five servings but can easily be doubled or tripled for larger crowds Enjoy!

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?
Melissa says
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

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 🙂
Melissa says
Sounds fantastic! I’m glad you were able to use it and make it work for you-maybe I’ll try it your way next time!!
