How to Make Apple Dessert Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar. Mix well.
- 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.
- Set aside the crumb topping.
- Unroll one package (8 oz) of refrigerated crescent roll dough and firmly press it into an ungreased 12-inch pizza pan or cookie sheet.
- 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.
- Crumble the peanut butter topping evenly over the apples and chocolate chips.
- 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!
