Generous pinch of salt

Preparation
For topping:
Step 1
Mix first 6 ingredients in medium bowl. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until moist clumps form.
For filling:
Step 2
Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter six 1 1/4-cup custard cups. Combine all ingredients except whipped cream in large bowl; stir to blend. Let stand until juices form, about 15 minutes.
