# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, add sliced apples. Sprinkle with brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Stir until apples are coated, then add pecans and stir again.
03 - In a small heavy-bottomed pan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil over low heat while stirring constantly for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract, stirring to combine. Let caramel cool for 10 minutes.

05 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut butter into the flour mixture until crumbly. Pour in boiling water and stir until combined.
06 - Spoon the topping mixture over the apples and spread evenly to cover all the apples. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle on top.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
