Mom'S Apple Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 c. finely chopped apples*

Preparation

Heat oven to 350\u00b0. Melt butter in a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish. Heat water and sugar until sugar melts. Cut shortening in flour. Add milk and roll out dough on a floured board. Shape into a large rectangle. Sprinkle apples and cinnamon evenly over dough. Roll up like a jelly roll. Slice dough into about 16 slices, 1/2-inch thick. Place in a pan with melted butter. Pour sugar syrup around rolls. They absorb all the liquid. Bake 55 to 60 minutes.
