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! :-)"
