This could easily be called The Great Deflating Pie. That's probably a good thing. Apples get soft when they get baked, so when the filling first gets added to the crust, it is an eye-popping mountain of apple. While baking, the apple softens, the voids between slices are filled and the mountain of apple lowers into an even, dense, layer of apple goodness (with some golden brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice mixed in).
Oats are rolled into the outside of the crust and the topping (thankfully tolerant of all of these volume shifts) is a streusel of golden brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, butter and oats.
It's a wholesome, homey comfort dessert perfect for this time of the year.
