Ingredients for Apple Dessert Bake

  • 3 cups peeled and chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter

How to Make Apple Dessert Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar. Mix well.
  3. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Set aside the crumb topping.
  5. Unroll one package (8 oz) of refrigerated crescent roll dough and firmly press it into an ungreased 12-inch pizza pan or cookie sheet.
  6. Evenly sprinkle 3 cups of peeled and chopped apples (about 2 medium apples) and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips over the crescent roll dough, ensuring coverage to the edges.
  7. Crumble the peanut butter topping evenly over the apples and chocolate chips.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
