Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

Slice each Honeycrisp apple in half and scoop out the core and seeds. Trim a thin slice from the bottom of each half for stability.

In a mixing bowl, combine light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and chopped pecans. Mix until evenly distributed.

Pour the melted butter into the dry mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly topping.

Scoop the topping onto each apple half, pressing it down gently. Create mounds for more flavor.

Bake the apples for 20-25 minutes, until tender and the topping is golden brown.

Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally drizzle with caramel sauce.
