Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. For the pastry, combine flour and butter in a large bowl. Rub in well using fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, then add enough water to bring the dough together. Knead into a ball, wrap in cling wrap and chill 20 mins. Roll out between 2 sheets of parchment paper until 1 inch thick. Ease into a 10 inch pie pan. Trim the excess pastry and chill 10 mins.
Place pan on a baking sheet. Line pastry with parchment paper and fill with dry beans. Bake 10 mins, then remove paper and beans and bake 5 more mins. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350\u00b0F.
To make the crumble topping, rub the butter and flour together with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the spices, oats, nuts and sugar. Add 3 tbsp cold water and mix gently.
To assemble, fill pastry with the stewed apples, leaving a bit of space at the top Spoon on the crumble topping, then place the dish on a baking sheet and bake 30 mins, or until the crumble is browned. Serve warm or hot with whipped cream or ice cream, if using.
