Best Apple Crisp (we think!)

This is taken from the foodnetwork.com and not modified much!

Filling:
5 baking apples, peeled, cored, chopped small (the peeler, slicer, de-corer thing works wonders!)
1/4 c. finely chopped pecans
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour (we used whole wheat flour)
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 Tbsp lemon juice

Topping:
3/4 c. all-purpose flour (we again, used whole wheat)
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. chilled butter, cut into pieces
1/4 c. coarsely chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

For the filling:
Mix all the ingredients together. Place into 8 ramekins or an 8x8 in. baking pan.

For the topping:
Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Blend the butter into the mixture until it forms pea size lumps. Stir in pecans and sprinkle over the filling.

Bake crisps for 35-40 minutes. Cool 10 min. before serving. Goes well warm with ice cream! :)

SO good - enjoy!
