In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, canola oil, milk, sugar, and vanilla until emulsified.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.
If desired, fold in raisins.
Remove the foil from the apples and crumble the cookie dough evenly on top of the apples.
Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the cookie topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold the next morning.
