How to make it into a pie?

I make this every year for holidays. It's always a crowd pleaser! This year I have a request to make into a pie, like apple pie, with a sweet crumble topping. Can anyone help me figure out how to do this? 😊

Love this - have made for years anytime we have ham. What would you substitute for Ritz to make gluten free?
