1 3/4 to 2 1/4 c. flour, divided
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 pkg. dry yeast
1/4 c. milk
1/4 c. water
1/3 c. butter
2 eggs
2 lg. apples, peeled and sliced
2/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
6 tbsp. soft butter

Combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, salt and undissolved yeast; set aside.

In saucepan, combine milk, water, and 1/3 cup butter. Stir over low heat until liquid is very warm; butter does not have to melt. Gradually add to yeast mixture and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs to batter along with 1/2 cup flour or enough flour to make a thick batter. Beat at high speed for 2 minutes. Stir in enough additional flour to make a stiff batter.

Spread evenly in a well-greased 9x9 inch pan. Arrange apple slices evenly over batter.

Combine 2/3 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour, cinnamon, and 6 tablespoons butter. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over apples. Cover and let rise in warm place until double in bulk, about 1 hour. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing.
