Vegan Maple Pecan Apple Crisp

This recipe came to life during a family apple-picking trip last fall. We had bags full of fresh apples, and I wanted to create a dessert that would highlight their natural sweetness. The pecan topping added a perfect crunch, and the maple syrup brought everything together with a subtle richness.
