MOM'S APPLE COBBLER 1/2 c. butter or margarine 2 c. sugar 2 c. water 1 1/2 c. sifted self-rising flour 1/2 c. shortening 1/3 c. milk 2 c. finely chopped apples 1 tsp. cinnamon Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish or sheet cake pan. In a saucepan, heat sugar and water until sugar melts. Cut shortening into flour until particles are like fine crumbs. Add milk and stir with a fork only until dough leaves the side of the bowl. Turn out onto lightly floured board or pastry cloth; 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 jellyroll. Dampen the edge of the dough with a little water and seal. Slice dough into about 16 slices, 1/2-inch thick. Place in a pan with melted butter. Pour sugar syrup carefully around rolls. (This looks like too much liquid, but the crust will absorb it.) Bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Makes 8 servings.
