Rosy Apple Whirls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 c. sugar
    1 1/2 c. water
    1/3 c. cinnamon candies or 1 tsp. cinnamon and red food coloring
    3 c. peeled and finely cut apples
    2 c. flour
    2 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/4 c. sugar
    1/3 c. shortening
    1 egg
    milk
Preparation
    Bring 1 1/2 cups sugar, water and candies to a boil.
    Simmer for 5 minutes.
    Pour into a 12 x 18 x 2-inch pan, reserving 1/2 cup for topping. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in shortening thoroughly until particles are fine.
    Break egg into measuring cup and add enough milk to measure 2/3 cup.
    Beat with a fork to combine. Add to dry ingredients all at once.
    Stir until dough clings together in a ball.
    Knead lightly on floured board 12 to 15 strokes.
    Roll out to a 12-inch square.
    Spread with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Cover with the apples. Roll as for a jelly roll. Cut into 8 (1 1/2-inch) slices and place on syrup in pan.
    Bake in moderately hot oven at 400\u00b0 for 30 minutes. Spoon reserved syrup over biscuits, 1 tablespoon on each, and continue baking 10 or 15 minutes longer until golden brown. Serve warm with plain or whipped cream.
