A simple, rustic dessert that combines tender spiced apples with a crunchy oat and pecan topping, all baked in a single dish for easy cleanup and maximum flavor.
For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend and use certified gluten-free oats. For a dairy-free option, swap butter for coconut oil or plant-based butter. Toasting pecans beforehand enhances flavor. Ensure apples are sliced uniformly for even cooking. Let the crisp cool for 10 minutes before serving to prevent runny filling.
