Peanut Butter Apple Crumble

Sunday Blessings Lovelies..
For breakfast we had a a traditional plate of Bacon... Egg.. Fried Green Tomatoes.. and good old British Baked Beans... which hubby is still puzzled by.

It was a chilly start to the day though in the warm sunshine it was quite pleasant so we walked home from church. This mornings sermon was one of my favourites.. The Sermon on the Mount. I remember as a child hearing it for the first time and feeling wow! I remember my Nana looking at me as we sat together.. and by the smile on her face... she knew I got it!
Back home I laid the table as I always do. Even though there are only two of us at home now.. we still sit at the table to eat.. and there's always room for any unexpected.. but welcome guest. I miss our children and grandchildren so much.. but relish the moments we have together.. and look forward to us being closer when my MrD retires in a couple of years

We then had a relaxing afternoon .. listening to the radio.. and for me working on a cardigan for our youngest granddaughter for MrD.
Dinner was easy... Leftover Victory Medley... a delicious pasta dish that MrD loves.. But I didnt escape that easy... a fresh, from scratch and delicious dessert was called for

With a change in the weather,  hubby is full of sniffles So, a filling, comforting dessert was called for. I had considered a rice pudding, but a few apples in the fridge swayed me..so a quick and easy crumble came to mind. 
This Apple Crumble recipe from Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, September 1948 is a twist on the original and has peanut butter in the topping...only a 1/4 of a cup but it made a difference  to the flavour. Also, the recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of sugar in the topping, Even the thought made my sweet tooth go Eeeek!! So I dropped it to a good cup of brown sugar and it worked well for hubby and me
Absolutely delicious.. especially served with some of that creamy custard I had in my birthday parcel.

5 apples, pared and sliced (about 3 cups)
cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons en- riched flour
3/4 cup quick- cooking oats
2½ cup brown sugar
½ cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons butter or fortified margarine
