Apple Thingys

I know there are always delicious apple treats, and hopefully I'm not duplicating. I made these last night and they're gone already! :) (and I don't remember what they are called. I just found the recipe online)

Filling

5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, chopped small (I used Jonathan, they're tart too)
1/4 C. finely chopped pecans, optional
3 T. flour
1/2 C. brown sugar
2 T. maple syrup
1 T. lemon juice

Topping
3/4 C. flour
1/3 C. brown sugar
1/4 t. ground cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
6 T. chilled butter, cut into pieces
1/4 C. coarsely chopped pecans, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

For the filling:
Mix all ingredients together. Place in 7-8 ounce ramekins. (I didn't have that many so I put it in a small casserole dish)

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

Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
Great with ice cream.
