This quick and easy apple crisp was yummy! I was intrigued by the addition of the peanut butter, and enjoyed the subtle, delicious flavor that it added to this crisp. I used Braeburn apples instead of tart apples, as they are my favorite apples to bake with. Also, I had to add about 10 - 15 minutes to the baking time for the apples to get tender. I served this warm with vanilla bean ice cream...yum! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. It is definitely a keeper!
