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

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. In a saucepan, heat sugar and water until sugar melts. Cut shortening into flour. Add milk and stir with fork until dough leaves sides of bowl. Turn out on lightly floured board and knead until smooth.

Roll dough out into large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle cinnamon over apple. Roll up dough like a jelly roll. Dampen edges and seal. Slice dough into 16 slices, 1/2 inch thick.

Place in pan with melted butter. Pour syrup carefully around rolls. (This looks like too much liquid, but the crust with absorb it). Bake for 55-60 minutes. Makes 8 servings.

Variation: This cobbler 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 sugar syrup. Always use two cups liquid.
