Prepare pastry for single-crust pie, being careful not to stretch dough too much.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
Add apple slices and gently toss until they are coated well.
Transfer mixture to pie.
FOR CRUMB TOPPING: Stir together brown sugar, flour, and oats.
Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until topping resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle over apple mixture in pie.
To prevent over-browning while baking, cover edge of pie with foil.
