Ingredients

  • Apple filling:

  • 3/4 cup sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • pinch salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Topping:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup pecans, chopped
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
     
  2. Mix all the topping ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.

  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
