BETTY'S APPLE COBBLER


BETTY'S APPLE COBBLER
________________________________________


1/2 c. butter
2 c. sugar
2 c. water
1 1/2 c. self-rising flour (recipe below)
1/2 c. shortening
1/3 c. milk
2 c. peeled apples, finely chopped
1 tsp. cinnamon or other spices

 Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a baking oval. In saucepan heat sugar and water until sugar melts. Cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add milk and stir only until dough leaves side of bowl. Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead just until smooth. Roll out dough in large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle spices over apples; sprinkle apples evenly over dough. Roll up dough jelly roll fashion. Dampen edges of dough and seal. Slice dough into about 16 slices, 1/2 inch thick. Place in pan with melted butter. Pour sugar syrup carefully around rolls. (Looks like too much liquid, but the crust will absorb it.) Bake 40-45 minutes. If using regular purpose flour use 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt with flour. Check at end of 40 minutes and bake longer if necessary.  Top with whipped Cream & Cinnamon

Original recipe makes 1 cup
 1 cup all-purpose flour
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Stir or sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Presto, you've got self-rising flour!
