It's because the crust cooks faster than the filling. This isn't always objectionable but leaves a gap between the crust and fruit. How hot is your oven try reducing the heat 50F (20C)? Or try covering the crust with foil until the last 15 minutes of baking?

If you cut slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape, then it's possible that you added more apple than necessary to your filling to avoid your pie caving in once cooked.

How do you get the bottom crust more crispy when baking a deep dish frozen apple pie should you use a higher temperature at first?

You may not be able to get the crust of a frozen pie crisped to your satisfaction. The problem is that as the pie filling thaws, moisture seeps into the crust causing it to be soggy. This seems to be the nature of frozen pies. Using a higher temperature would scorch the top crust without improving the bottom crust. If making a pie from scratch is not possible, one might try removing the filling, crisping the bottom crust in the oven for 20 minutes, then returning the filling and top crust to the pie and baking until done.
