Apple Roll

from the kitchen of Sarah

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking powder
3-4 Tbsp. shortening
2/3-3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
6-8 apples, grated

Sift flour with salt, sugar, and baking powder; cut in shortening until mixture resembles course crumbs. Add milk all at once and mix just until dough follows fork around bowl. Turn out on lightly floured surface; knead gently 1/2 minute.

Grate apples, add some sugar and cinnamon (abt 1/2 cup sugar and a few tsp. cinnamon). Roll dough out like cinnamon rolls and spread apple mixture on top. Roll up and cut and place in mixture of melted butter, water, and sugar.in a cake pan (about 1" of water with 2-3 tbs melted butter, sweetened with sugar)

Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.

This is a family favorite. We make it every fall when the apples are on. It was my great grandmother, Fanny Hill's recipe, one of those family recipes that she never actually had a written recipe, so we've just had to adapt one on our own!:) We serve it warm with whipped cream or canned milk on top. YUMMY!
