Press half of this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 13 x 9-inch inch baking pan. Spread the apple pie filling on top of the bottom crust. Top with the remaining crumb mixture; do not press down. Bake for about 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack.
