Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather your baking sheet and foil.

Slice each Honeycrisp apple in half and remove the core. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each half to stabilize them.

In a mixing bowl, combine the light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and chopped pecans. Stir until well combined.

Pour the melted unsalted butter into the bowl with the dry mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Fill each apple half with the pecan topping, pressing down slightly to ensure it adheres.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the apples are tender and slightly golden on top.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with caramel sauce or paired with vanilla ice cream.
