How to Make Apple And Peanut Butter Crisp

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples. Place the sliced apples in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the apples evenly with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour.
Cut in 1/2 cup of chilled, cubed margarine and 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture to the apples in the baking dish and gently mix to combine.
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top of the apple mixture.
Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and lightly browned.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
