Vegan Apple Pie with Crumb Topping

Apple pie is pretty much a staple around these parts during the holidays (evidenced here, here, and here), but lately I've been a bit discouraged by how runny my filling has been. So for this year I decided I'd try cooking the apples on the stove with some corn starch before putting it in the crust. I'm so happy with how it turned out, I don't think I'll ever go back to my old ways.
