List of Ingredients




1/2 c. (1 stick) butter
2 c. sugar
2 c. water
1 1/2 c. self-rising flour
1/2 c. shortening (Crisco)
2 c. apples, finely chopped or 1 can
apple pie filling
1 tsp. cinnamon



Recipe



Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish or sheet cake pan. In a saucepan, heat sugar and water until sugar melts. Cut shortening into flour until particles are like fine crumbs. Add a little milk at a time and stir with fork until dough leaves side of bowl. Turn out onto lightly floured board or pastry cloth. Knead just until smooth. Roll dough out into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle cinnamon over apples; then spread apples evenly over dough. Roll up dough like a jelly roll. Dampen the edge of the dough with a little water and seal. Can be sliced or left whole, then place in pan with melted ingredients. Pour sugar syrup carefully around roll. (This looks like too much liquid, but the crust absorbs it.) Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.
