Line a flat baking sheet with foil and place on the lowest rack of the oven (this is to catch any juices that may drip from your pie and keep your oven clean.) Put the other rack in the middle. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 inch pie pan with cooking spray.

Combine 1¼ cups graham style crumbs with the melted butter and honey. Dump the mixture into the prepared pie plate and press firmly on the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Leave the oven on.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, ½ cup brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt and vanilla and toss to combine. Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust and gently press down on the apples to flatten the top slightly.

Combine the remaining ¼ cup brown sugar with the remaining ¾ cup graham style crumbs and sliced almonds. Cut the butter into pieces and with your fingers; combine everything until it is clumpy. Spread the mixture over the apples and bake for 80 – 90 minutes or until the apple mixture is hot and bubbly and the crust is browned; after 45 minutes place a piece of foil over the top of the pie to keep it from browning too much.

Let cool and serve.
