- In a separate bowl, combine almond butter, melted and cooled vegan butter, and maple syrup.
- Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients using a spatula. The two mixtures should form into a dough-like ball.
- Line or grease an 8x8 baking dish and preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Evenly press 2/3 of the pie crust dough into the baking dish.
- Pour the apple pie filling on top of the crust and spread it out evenly.
- Use your hands to form various shaped crumbles of the remaining dough and spread it on top of the apple pie filling.

Notes
- *You can also use corn starch

- Before cutting into the apple pie crumble bars, let the pie cool for at least 20 – 30 minutes to let it set. The crumble bars will hold better once it has cooled completely.
