Default Almond crust that's not crumbly

I found this online:
This is a very easy pie crust to make. This works best for a 9" pie pan. If
you have an 8" one, the crust will be a little thicker, or you can cut back
on the ingredients a bit.
Ingredients:
a.. 1 and 1/2 cups almond meal or almond flour
b.. 3 tablespoons melted butter
c.. Artificial sweetener equal to 3 tablespoons sugar
Preparation:
Heat oven to 350 F. Melt the butter (if the pie pan is microwave safe, melt
the butter in it) and mix the ingredients up in the pan and pat into place
with your fingertips.

Bake for about 10 minutes until the crust is beginning to brown. After 8
minutes, check every minute or so, because once it starts to brown it goes
quickly.
