Recipe

• 1 preheat your oven to 350f (180c).

• 3 for the pastry, sprinkle the oil and water together over the dry ingredients. work with your fingers until it’s evenly mixed and moist. form the dough into a ball. lightly dust the ball with flour then toss it into a 9-inch (23-cm) pie plate. press the dough evenly into the plate, taking care to avoid a thickening at the base of the sides, in the corner. set aside.
• 4 for the crumble, toss the vegetable oil into the remaining dry ingredients and work the mixture with your fingers until it’s well distributed. set aside.
• 5 mix and toss the apples, rosemary, whole-wheat flour and brown sugar together in a bowl. transfer this mixture into the bottom crust and evenly top with the crumble mixture.
• 6 bake until it’s golden brown on top and bubbling, about an hour or so. serve it warm.
• 7 freestyle twist: you can spice up this pie in any number of ways. try cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice or cloves. or be brave and add cardamom, cloves or mace.
