Choose 8 apples, preferably tart ones like Granny Smith.

Peel and core the apples, saving the peels and cores for caramel.

Squeeze lemon juice over the sliced apples to prevent oxidation.

Slice the apples into 1/8 inch slices.

In a Dutch oven, combine the apple slices with white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cardamom; toss to coat.

Cook the apple mixture on the stove for 5-10 minutes until softened.

Combine 1 cup of water with 1 tablespoon of potato starch to create a thickener; whisk until smooth.

Pour the thickener into the apple mixture and stir; set aside.

Flour your work surface and rolling pin, then roll out the prepared pie crust.

Check the size of the pie crust against your pie dish, ensuring it's about 1.5 inches larger than the dish.

Transfer the rolled crust to the pie dish, letting it fall in gently.

Pour the apple filling into the crust, creating a mound.

Roll out the top crust and place it over the filling, crimping the edges to seal.

Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.

Dot the top with pieces of vegan butter for added flavor.

Bake the pie until golden brown and bubbly.
