Mom'S Apple Pie
A home-kitchen version of mom's apple pie, written step by step so it's easy to follow that's worth the oven time.
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. (1 stick) butter or margarine
- 2 c. water
- 1/2 c. shortening
- 2 c. finely chopped apples
- 2 c. sugar
- 1 1/2 c. sifted self-rising flour
- 1/2 c. milk
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Method
Heat oven to 350°.
Melt butter in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish or sheet cake pan.
Heat sugar and water until sugar melts; set aside.
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 1/2-inch thick.
Sprinkle cinnamon over apples.
Then place apples evenly over the 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 the crust will absorb it.)
Bake at 350° for 55 to 60 minutes.
Makes 8 servings.
