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

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in 9 x 13 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 until dough leaves side of bowl. Turn out onto lightly floured board or pastry cloth, knead until smooth. Roll up dough out into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle cinnamon over apples then sprinkle apples evenly over dough. Roll up dough like a jelly roll. Dampen the edge of the dough with a little water and seal. slice dough into about 16 slices 1/2 inch thick. Place in pan with melted butter. Put sugar syrup carefully around rolls. This looks like too much liquid but the crust will absorb it. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Makes 8 servings. 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 the sugar syrup. Always use 2 cups of liquid. An all time favorite, this swirled cobbler is moist and juicy yet flaky on top.
