2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup old-fashioned oats
6 McIntosh apples (2 1/4 lb)
Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Step 2
Bring brandy to a boil in a small saucepan and remove from heat. Stir in prunes and let stand while making topping.
Step 3
Pulse together flour, 6 tablespoons brown sugar, butter, salt, and cinnamon in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add oats and pulse once or twice to just combine.
Step 4
Peel, quarter, and core apples and cut into 1/2-inch wedges. Transfer apples to a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish and toss with prune mixture and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
Step 5
Sprinkle topping evenly over apple filling and bake in middle of oven until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
