3. Add the butter to the bowl and mix it in (until it is semi-sticking together)

4. Pour in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract. (NOTE:if you are not vegan and want this to come out more "pie" like rather than a crumble, then you can replace the maple syrup for 2 eggs)

5. Mix all together until it is sticky-like

6. Then get a pie container, or another pan that is around the size of a regular pie.

7. Take the mixture and place it along the edges of the pan or container.

8. Cook in the oven for 20 mins (until it turns a golden brown)

MAKE THE FILLING

1. Add your apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, apple pie seasoning, and cardamom to a large bowl

2. Mix until all the apple pieces have "seasoning" on them

3. Pour the filling into the COOKED outer layer

4. Put the whole thing in the oven and let bake for about 1 hour.

5. Let cool down a bit but not until it's cold because this tastes AMAZING warm!
