    In the bowl of a food processor, pulse pecans until chopped. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. Return bowl to food processor, combine 1/2-cup flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt and pulse until blended. Add butter and pulse until mixture is the texture of a course meal.

Transfer to freezer until needed.

Place baking dish on a rimmed sheet pan and bake until golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with a knife, about 45 to 55 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
