Maple Apple Crisp

Ingredients

Filling:

• 5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, chopped small
• 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Topping:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into pieces
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

For the Filling:

• Mix all the ingredients together. Place into 7 to 8-ounce ramekins. (I just put it in an 8X8 pans instead of the individual cups.)

For topping:

Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in large bowl. Blendthe butter into the mixture until it forms pea size lumps. Stir in pecans and sprinkle over filling. (I like to add 1/4 cup oats and some of the nuts to the topping.)

Bake crisps for 35 to 40 minutes. (I can't remember if the cook time needs to be increased or not.) Cool 10 minutes before serving.
