Apple Roll--from my grandma Lenore Cutler Gundersen

Preheat oven to 450.

Put 1 1/2 c sugar and 2 c water in a 9x13 baking pan and mix together.  Put this in the preheating oven so that it will be very hot in a few minutes.

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

• 5 tablespoons shortening
• 3/4 cup milk

Cut shortening into dry ingredients.  Add milk.  Make into a rectangular lump.

Roll out into a 12x18 rectangle.  Grate 4 meduim apples onto the dough and spread out evenly. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon to taste. Roll up dough from the long side.

Cut off the uneven ends. Cut into about 12 slices about a 1-1/4 inches each.

Put into the boiling syrup in the oven.  Dot each roll with a little butter.

Bake at 450 for 20 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
