Amazing Apple Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/3 cup milk
2 cups apples, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place butter in 13x9-inch baking dish; place in oven to melt.
2. In medium saucepan, combine sugar and water; heat until sugar dissolves, stirring frequently. Set aside.
3. Place flour in medium bowl. With pastry blender or fork, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir with fork just until mixture begins to pull away from sides of bowl.
4. On lightly floured surface, knead dough just until smooth. Roll out dough to 12x10x1/4-inch rectangle.
5. In medium bowl, combine apples and cinnamon; stir to mix. Sprinkle apples evenly over dough.
6. Beginning with long side, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Cut into 16 slices.
7. Arrange slices in baking dish over melted butter. Pour sugar syrup carefully around and over rolls. (This looks like a lot of liquid, but crust will absorb it.).
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 15 minutes before serving.
