Apple Pecan Crisp Recipe
It’s fall, and you know what that means! ALL of the apple recipes! Is there anything better than biting into a crisp and tender apple? The only thing better is when you can make a delicious dessert out of it, just like this apple pecan crisp! The addition of pecans to a classic apple crisp recipe took it to a whole different and delicious level. This recipe is delicious and simple to make and will be the perfect fit after any fall meal. The cinnamon sugar mixture works its magic in the oven as it bakes and creates an amazing cinnamon sugar glaze over the apples as it bakes. Top this dessert with some vanilla ice cream. It will melt onto the warm apple crisp and adds a creamy texture to each and every bite.
Ingredients in Apple Pecan Crisp
Once you have some Granny Smith apples in hand, you won’t be able to resist making this delicious dessert! It’s perfect for fall and I love bringing in the classic autumn spices like cinnamon and cardamom to really level up this dessert. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
Granny Smith Apples: I like using green apples because their tart flavor complements the sweet ingredients perfectly. I also peel my apples before adding them to my cooking dish.Lemon Juice: The lemon juice keeps the apples fresh and helps prevent browning. Brown Sugar: This adds in a deep flavor and helps creamy a caramelized texture. Flour: I used all-purpose flour for this recipe. Cinnamon: This classic flavor is a must for any fall apple recipes! Cardamom: This adds a bit of a spicy, mint flavor that goes so well with cinnamon. Ginger: The ginger provides a very mildly spicy and sweet combination of flavors to the dessert. Pecans: You will use some of the pecans with the apples, and the other half will go in the topping.
Crumb Topping
Flour: I used all-purpose flour in the topping. Old Fashioned Oats: The oats bring in a fantastic texture that makes the top crumble. Brown Sugar: This is a MUST if you want the sauce to caramelize and add some additional sweet flavors. Cinnamon and Nutmeg: These fall flavors complement the apple mixture. Salt: The salt enhances all the flavors in the apple pecan crisp. Butter: I used cold unsalted butter so I could easily cut it up into cubes.
Let’s Make Apple Pecan Crisp!
This delicious dessert will be a go-to for your family during the fall… Actually, let’s be honest, it’s so good that you will bake it all year long! It only takes a few minutes to put it all together. Top it with some vanilla ice cream, and you will love every bite!
Crumb Topping
Crumb Topping: When you mix your crumb topping, you shouldn’t see any cubes of butter left behind. When you pinch your fingers, the topping should stick together. Nuts: If you aren’t a fan of pecans, then you can switch up the type of nuts! Try using some walnuts or slivered almonds instead! Glaze: I love adding some vanilla ice cream to this apple pecan crisp when it’s warm, but you can also try drizzling on some warmed cream cheese frosting as a glaze!
At Room Temperature: Once your apple pecan crisp has cooled, then you can store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It will last about 2-4 days! To Reheat: You can warm this up in the microwave and top it with some fresh vanilla ice cream; it will taste as good as the day you baked it!

I ended up adding mine when I added the pecans, ut as someone with no culinary sense whatsoever, I’d love confirmation of that. Thanks again for sharing this great recipe!
