--------  ------------  --------------------------------
          cup           Butter or margarine (1stick)
   2      cups          Sugar
   2      cups          Water
     1/2  cup           Shortening
   1 1/2  cups          Self-Rising Flour
     1/3  cup           Milk
   2      cups          Peeled apples -- finely chopped
   1      teaspoon      Cinnamon
                        Cream or ice cream (opt.)

Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in a 13x9x2-inch glass or metl baking dish.
 Heat sugar and water in medium saucepan until sugar dissolves; set aside.
 Cut shortening into flour with pastry blender or two knives
 until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 
Add milk and stir with a fork only until dough leaves sides of bowl. 
Turn dough out onto lightly floured board or pastry cloth; knead gently
 just until smooth.
 Roll out to a 12x10x-inch rectangle. 
Stir together apples and cinnamon in mixing bowl.
 Sprinkle apples evenly over dough. 
Roll up jelly-roll style, beginning with a long side.
 Press edges to seal. 
Cut into 16 slices, each about 1/2 inch thick. 
Arrange slices in pan with melted butter
 Pour sugar syrup carefully around and over rolls. (
This looks like too much liquid, but the crust will absorb it.)
 Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 15
minutes before serving. 
Serve warm with cream or ice cream, if desired.
