1/2 c. (1 stick) 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. peeled, finely chopped apples
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. In a medium saucepan, heat sugar and water until sugar melts. Cut shortening into flour until size of coarse corn meal. Add milk and stir with a fork only until dough leaves sides of bowl.

Turn out on lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Roll dough into large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle cinnamon over apples; sprinkle apples evenly over dough. Roll up dough jelly roll fashion. Dampen edges and seal. Slice dough into about 16 slices, 1/2-inch thick.

Place in pan of melted butter. Pour sugar-syrup carefully around rolls. (This looks like too much liquid but the crust will absorb it). Bake 40-45 minutes.
