Mom'S Apple Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. butter or margarine
2 c. sugar (this is a little too sweet)
2 c. water
1 1/2 c. self-rising flour, sifted
1/2 c. shortening
1/3 c. milk
2 c. finely chopped apples
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preparation

Heat oven to 350\u00b0.
Melt butter in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.
In a saucepan heat sugar and water until sugar melts.
Cut shortening into flour.
Add milk and stir with a fork only until dough leaves the side of the bowl.
Turn onto lightly floured board and knead just until smooth.
Roll dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Sprinkle cinnamon over apples. Then sprinkle apples evenly over the dough.
Roll up dough like a jelly roll.
Slice dough into about 16 slices, 1/2-inch thick. Place in pan with melted butter.
Pour sugar syrup carefully around rolls (this looks like too much liquid, but crust will absorb it).
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.
Makes 8 servings.
