A warm, comforting dessert made with a unique oatmeal cookie topping that complements perfectly tender baked apples. The sweetness of maple syrup and the crunch of oats create a delightful contrast!
To make the apples: Combine the apples, flour, syrup, and juice in the baking dish and stir to coat.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
While the apples bake, make the topping: Whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a medium-size bowl.
In a small-size bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, oil, milk, sugar, and vanilla until emulsified.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture.
Stir in raisins if desired.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil from the apples.
Crumble the cookie dough topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the apples are tender and the cookie topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
You can also enjoy it cold the next day.
