  flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar into a bowl.
  Cut the butter into small pieces; cut it into the
  flour mixture, using a pastry blender, until the
  mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Cut the bread into
  1-inch-square pieces. Soak the raisins in boiling
  water to cover for about 5 minutes, until plump, the
  drain them. Combine the bread, raisins, and sliced
  apples in a bowl. Sprinkle the bottom of the prepared
  baking dish with 3/4 cup of the flour mixture, add the
  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.
