Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15-inch jellyroll pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, 0.5 cup sugar, and salt. Cut in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Spread the filling evenly over the hot crust as soon as it comes out of the oven.
