Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease an 8x8 glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Slice 2 pounds of tart apples (about 6 cups) thinly and place them in a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the apples and mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine 2/3 cup flour and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar.

Cut in 1/4 cup of butter (or margarine) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add 1/4 cup chunky peanut butter to the crumb mixture and mix until well combined.

Take 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture and mix it into the apples.

Spread the apple mixture evenly in the greased baking dish.

Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top of the apples.

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven at 375°F for about 40 minutes, until the apples are tender and the topping is slightly brown.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
