Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Roll out the pie crust and place in a pie plate, flute the edges and set aside.
Prepare the filling by placing the sliced apples in a bowl.
Add the sugar, flour and cinnamon and mix to combine with the apples.
Pour the apples into the pie crust.
Prepare the topping by combining the flour and sugar in a small bowl.
Cut in the butter until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping over the apples.
Bake 10 minutes at 450°F and then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake another 50 - 60 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for balanced flavor and texture.
Slice the apples evenly so they bake at the same rate, and chill the pie crust before filling to help it stay flaky in the oven.

Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Make the crumb topping ahead and refrigerate it for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Reheat slices in a warm oven to crisp the topping again before serving.
