   apple mixture, and top with the remaining flour
   mixture. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until
   the top of the brown betty is crisp and golden and the
   apples are tender, 35 to 45 minutes. To make the rum
   whipped cream: In a chilled medium bowl, beat the
   cream and sugar until stiff. Beat in the rum. Serve
   the betty warm, with the rum whipped cream. Serves 6.
