Apple Crisp

At work on Friday, I was given a basket of apples that an attorney didn't want.  When I got home Scott and I decided that apple crisp sounded good.  I decided to try a different recipe than I normally make. 

I used Pioneer Woman's recipe for Pear Crisp and then just put in apples instead.  It was delicious!  I was hesitant to put in the pecans, because I'm not a real nut person.  Scott convinced me to put them in and the pecans made the recipe!  Here's the recipe with my changes:

Apple Crisp

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 4
4 large Granny Smith apples
2/3 cups Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt

Topping: 
1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1/3 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 cup Pecans, Very Finely Chopped (Don't leave these out!)
1 stick Butter, Melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Peel, core, and dice apples. Place into a bowl and stir together with 2/3 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans. Stir together. Drizzle melted butter gradually, stirring with a fork as you go until all combined.

Pour apples into a baking dish; top with crumb topping.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Place pan on top rack of oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until topping is golden brown.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
