7 ½ ounces part-skim ricotta cheese

¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter, softened

Mix flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Mash butter into the flour mixture with a fork or pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the apple pie mixture in the pan.
