Apple Roll

6 apples, peeled and grated

2 c. flour

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 c. shortening

1/2 c. milk

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening. Add milk. Stir until evenly moist. Roll out into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Spread apples over the dough then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up (starting and long end) like a jellyroll.

(You can wrap it in foil at this point and freeze it for later.)

Pour syrup over top before baking:

Syrup:

2 c. sugar

2 c. water

1/4 c. butter

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together in a saucepan, bring to a boil.

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes, or until top begins to brown.

Serve with ice cream.
