1 stick butter
2 c. water
1/2 c. shortening
2 c. finely chopped apples
2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. self-rising flour
1/3 c. milk
1 tsp. cinnamon

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. In a saucepan heat water and sugar until sugar melts. Cut shortening into flour until particles are like fine crumbs. Add milk and stir with fork only until dough leaves sides 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 and stir, sprinkle apples evenly over dough and roll up like a jelly roll.

Dampen edges of dough with a little water and seal. Slice dough into 16 slices, 1/2 inch thick. Place in pan with melted butter. Pour sugar syrup carefully around rolls. This looks like too much liquid, but the crust will absorb it. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.

VARIATION: This may be made with other fresh, frozen or canned fruits, such as blackberries, cherries or peaches. If packed in liquid, drain and substitute for part of the sugar syrup. Always use 2 cups liquid.
