Spoon the apple filling into the crust.
To make the crumb topping:
Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and butter in a medium bowl. Mix until resembles thick crumbs. Sprinkle mixture on top of pie.
Place the pie onto a large baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Keeping the pie in the oven, turn the temperature down to 375 degrees and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes. After the first 20 minutes of bake time, place a pie crust shield (or foil strips) on top of the edges of the pie to prevent them from browning too quickly.
Allow the pie to cool before serving.
