- Melt: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup butter.

Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.

- Cook: Stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar, Pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Add 1/2 cup oats and 1.5 cups pecansStir well and set aside.
Assembling the Pie
- Layer: Place the prebaked 9" pecan pie crust shell on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute half of the apple slices in the pecan pie shell. Pour half of the prepared filling over the sliced apples, spreading it evenly. Add the remaining apple slices on top, followed by the rest of the filling.
- Add topping: Carefully spoon the topping mixture over the filling, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake: Place the pie on the baking sheet in the preheated oven. After 10 minutes of baking, cover the pie with aluminum foil so the topping doesn’t burn. Bake for about an hour until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Check the apples for softness with a fork; if they're still firm, continue baking for an additional 10 minutes.
- Cool and enjoy!: Once the apples are cooked through and the top is golden brown, remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Top with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or enjoy all on its own!
