Preheat over to 350 degrees F.

Cobbler topping: In a food processor, grind ½ cup pecans, ½ cup flour and ½ cup oats into a coarse meal.

Add remaining pecans, flour and oats, brown sugar or maple sugar, cinnamon and salt and chop in a few pulses just to mix. Transfer to a bowl. Work oil into the pecan-flour mixture until pebbly.

Add more oil or a touch of water if it is too dry. Set aside.

Apple compote: Peel and dice apples.

Mix together maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla and cinnamon. Add cornstarch and mix until dissolved. Pour over apples and stir until well mixed.

Spread topping over fruit evenly. Bake 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and fruit is bubbling through.
