After School Peanut Butter Apple Pie

Ingredients

  • Prepared pie crust
  • Chopped peanuts (optional)
Filling:
  • 7 apples, peeled cored and sliced
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Crumble:
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour

 

Preparation

  1. Place crust in 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges. Use dried beans to weigh down bottom. Bake crust for 10-15 minutes, or until crust is lightly browned.
  2. Mix all filling ingredients together and put in crust. Using hands, mix crumble ingredients until in pea-sized pieces. Top apples with crumble. Don't worry if sky high, apples will cook down and pie will be perfectly proportioned.
  3. Bake at 350°F for 40-50 minutes. Keep edges covered with foil until last 15 minutes. Garnish with chopped peanuts.

Notes, Tips & Suggestions
Recipe contributed by winner Alisa L., Midwest region

In kitchens, cafeterias and restaurants nationwide, our local food preferences may be unique, and our culinary traditions may be diverse, but we all share a common bond: a love for peanut butter.

"Affordable, nutritious and of course delicious, peanut butter is a staple found in most American homes," said Leslie Wagner, executive director of Southern Peanut Growers. "While some parts of the country prefer their foods hot and spicy, others prefer savory or sweet. But no matter where you go, families love making peanuts or peanut butter a key ingredient in their favorite recipes."

To celebrate the unique flavors from coast to coast, and to find the best hometown PB recipes, Southern Peanut Growers conducted its first "PB My Way" regional recipe contest.

Peanut butter lovers nationwide submitted their recipes, from spicy stuffed peppers inspired by the Southwest to decadent chocolate bars in the Northeast. These are the top regional PB-powered recipes in our "United States of Peanut Butter."
