MomS Apple Cobbler - margarine

Method

• Heat oven to 350°.
• Melt margarine in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch 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 fork only until dough leaves the side of bowl. Turn onto lightly floured board on pastry cloth.
• Knead just until smooth.
• Roll dough into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle cinnamon over fruit, then sprinkle apples evenly, over dough.
• Roll up dough like a jelly roll.
• Dampen the edge of the dough with a little water and seal.
• 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.
• This may be made with other fruit, frozen or canned.
• If packed in liquid, drain and substitute for part of the sugar syrup.
• Always use 2 cups of liquid.
