Ingredients

1 Tbsp.
fresh lemon juice
2/3 tsp.
apple pie spice
4
medium Cosmic Crisp, Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples (about 7 ounces each), halved and cored
1/2 Tbsp.
canola oil
1/3 cup
pecan halves
1/4 cup

Directions

1. Step 1Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and heat oven to 425°F. In large bowl, whisk together lemon juice and apple pie spice. Add apples and toss to coat thoroughly.
2. Step 2Heat large ovenproof skillet on medium-high until hot. Add oil and swirl to coat bottom evenly. Carefully add apples, cut sides down, and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer skillet to lower oven rack and roast until apples are golden brown and tender, 16 to 18 minutes.
3. Step 3While apples roast, spread pecans on small rimmed baking sheet and roast on upper rack until toasted, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to cutting board and roughly chop.
4. Step 4In small bowl, microwave dulce de leche in 15-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and pourable, about 30 seconds.
