     10 1/2 ounces all-purpose flour, sieved with a pinch of salt
     6 ounces brown sugar, packed
     7 ounces unsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature
     more butter for greasing pan

         For the filling:

     1 pound Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped into half-inch pieces
     2 ounces brown sugar, packed
     1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
     1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or to taste)

Directions

  Preheat oven to 350ºF.

         For the crumble:

     Place flour/salt mixture and brown sugar in a large bowl and mix well.
     Rub a few cubes of butter at a time into the flour mixture.
     Keep rubbing until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.

     Set aside.

         For the filling:

Place the chopped apples in a large bowl and sprinkle with the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon mixture.  Stir well.
Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.
Spoon the apple mixture into the pan.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture on top.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crumble is brown and the apple mixture is bubbling.

Serve with custard (Bishop Wyndham's favorite) or with heavy cream (Lori's favorite).
Savor on a rainy day, preferably without the flooding!
