- Grease a 9 x 13 pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Work in the butter and egg with a pastry blender (or your hands) until pea-sized clumps form and no loose flour remains.
- Press half of mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- For the apple mixture, in another bowl, stir together granulated sugar and cornstarch.
- Squeeze out all excess liquid from grated apples with your hands, then mix them into the sugar until thoroughly combined.
