Husk and wash ground cherries and place them in an unbaked pie shell. Mix brown sugar and 1 tablespoon flour and sprinkle over cherries. Sprinkle water over top.
For the topping, combine 3 tablespoons flour and 3 tablespoons sugar. Cut butter in until crumbly. Sprinkle over top of the cherry mixture with crumbs.
