2 sticks butter
4 c. sugar
4 c. water
3 c. self-rising flour
Raisins
Brown sugar
1 c. walnuts or pecans
1 c. shortening
2/3 c. milk
4 c. finely chopped apples
2 tsp. cinnamon

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a 11x14 jelly roll pan.

In a saucepan heat sugar and water until sugar melts. Cut shortening into flour until particles are like fine crumbs. Add milk and stir with a fork only until dough leaves side of the bowl. Turn out onto lightly floured board. Knead just until smooth.

Roll dough out into a large rectangle shape. Sprinkle cinnamon, raisins, nuts over apples that are spread evenly over dough. Roll up like a jelly roll. Dampen edges with water and seal. Place in pan. Pour sugar water around the jelly rolls. Slice about 16 slices 1/2 inch on top of roll.
