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.
This Maple Pecan Apple Crisp is the perfect fall dessert, with tender apples baked beneath a sweet and crunchy pecan oat topping. It’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup, giving it a deep, caramel-like flavor.
You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds.
Serve with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
