Maple Pecan Apple Crisp: A Classic Fall Dessert Made Simpler

Apple crisp is one of the most searched fall desserts, and the maple pecan topping adds a warm, nutty crunch. This version uses oats and a little less sugar than the classic.

Ingredients for 4 servings

• 4 apples, peeled and sliced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• For the topping: 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, 2 tablespoons cold butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Toss the apples with lemon, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Spread in a baking dish.
3. Mix the topping ingredients until crumbly. Spread over the apples.
4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and the apples are soft.

Tips

• Serve warm with plain yogurt for a lighter option.
• Those watching sugar can reduce the maple syrup; the apples are naturally sweet.
