- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon apple pie spice

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, toss together apples, pecans, granulated sugar, ginger, flour, apple pie spice, and salt.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 14x12-inch rectangle. Carefully transfer dough to prepared pan. (Smooth or lightly reroll dough on pan, if necessary.)
