1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons butter, cold
1 recipe - 1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup cream
1 recipe - 4 large apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter an 8 inch square baking dish.
Sift together 1 1/2 cups of flour, white sugar, salt, and baking powder. Cut in 1/2 cup of butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir together the egg with the cream and gently mix into the flour until a soft dough has formed. Press into prepared baking dish.
Layer the apples into the dish overlapping, in neat rows.
Prepare streusel by mixing the brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over apples.
Bake in preheated oven until apples have softened, and topping has browned, about 25 minutes.
