Spoon the crumble mixture evenly over the apples. Don’t press it down (this helps keep it crisp).
Bake for 30–40 minutes until golden and crisp on top. If it starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
Let it sit for 5 minutes, then serve with Greek yogurt.

For the nutrition analysis I did not include any of the optional ingredients and I used a 0% fat Fage Greek yogurt.

Recipe Notes:

Peanut butter: Runny peanut butter works best for forming crumble clusters. If yours is thick, microwave for 10–15 seconds to loosen.
Don’t press the topping down: Lightly scatter it over the apples to keep the crumble texture crisp.
Apples: Chop into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.
Sweetness: Adjust maple syrup depending on your apples. Sweeter apples need less, tart apples may need more.
Prevent burning: If the topping starts browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the remaining bake time.

Storage:

Keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
Batch cooking: Easily double or triple the recipe for a larger dish or meal prep.
