BAKED APPLE SLICES WITH PEANUT BUTTER CRUMBLE
Here is another recipe that was featured in an email from the www.hersheys.com website. One reviewer said the following: "We really liked this one - even the child who doesn't care for peanut butter! The mix of flavors and textures was interesting and made a great finish to a zippy meal. Next time I'll add some more cinnamon though as the peanut butter overwhelmed it." I may take that into consideration when I get around to trying this! :-)
