There's no need to avoid `apply` altogether, IMO. You could do something like 
this:

(let [raw (list :a 1 :b 2 :c 3)]
    (into {:raw raw}
        (filter (comp even? second)
            (apply hash-map raw))))

BTW, `list` is pretty uncommon. Usually you'd just use a vector literal.

And this is the right place to ask!
