How to Make Apple Crisp With Peanut Brittle Crust

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter.
3. In a large bowl, combine the apple filling ingredients (see below): 6 cups peeled and sliced apples, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly and pour into the prepared baking dish.
4. In a separate large bowl, prepare the peanut brittle topping: Combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup salted peanuts (roughly chopped), 1/2 cup butter (melted), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture forms small, crumbly clumps.
5. Sprinkle the peanut brittle topping evenly over the apple filling.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
