Apple Dumpling Pinwheels
Source: Food Downunder
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 cup water (could also use unsweetened apple juice)
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cup peeled, cored, and finely chopped apples
Preheat oven to 350 F. Melt the butter in a 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking pan. Combine
the sugar and water in a medium saucepan and cook until sugar dissolves. Set
aside. Cut the shortening into the flour in much the same way as for a pie
crust. Add milk and mix until dough forms a ball. Turn out onto a lightly
floured surface and roll to a large rectangle about 12 x 10 inches. Combine the
apples and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the dough and then roll up
jellyroll fashion, starting on the longer side. Press the edges to seal. Cut
into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place these apple dumpling pinwheels in the baking
pan with the melted butter. Pour the sugar syrup over the top of the pinwheels.
Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until delicately browned. Serve warm.
