Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix first 4 ingredients with pastry blender to make coarse crumbs. Save 3/4 cup for topping. Combine syrup and water. Stir into crumbs. Pour into unbaked pie crust, top with crumbs. Bake anywhere from 30-60 minutes, until cake tester comes out of the middle clean. Best cool, but lukewarm or straight from the oven aren't too shabby either!
