French Apple Cake----like Lincoln Del's

    This is an apple cake similar to the one I loved from the Lincoln Del.

I tried many recipes to figure out something similar.

It is also known as "Apple Babka"

Cake:
 1 cup warm water
 1 T. yeast
 5 1/2 cups flour
 1/2 lb. butter
 2/3 cup sugar
 5 eggs
 1 1/2 t. vanilla

Mix as for bread.

Filling:
1 lb. apples (about 3 cups) peeled and chopped
2 T. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Roll out dough, spread the filling over it and roll it up into a large roll. Place in a greased bundt or tube pan, wrapping the roll around the center of the pan.

Streusel Topping:

3 T. sugar
6 T. flour
3 T. butter

Strew on top of the cake. Let rise for 1 hour or more.

Bake at 350° F for 1 hour.
