Beat together oil, egg, water and salt; add flour while beating, until a firm dough which pulls away from bowl is formed. Knead several times until smooth and elastic. Cover; let stand 30 minutes. Cut with sharp knife into two equal parts. Roll out each piece on floured cloth to a 12 x 18-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with bread crumbs. Spread 4 cups of apples on each portion, lengthwise down the center of the dough. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon rum, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 tablespoons almonds and 2 tablespoons raisins. Fold dough over apples on one side, then the other.
