RECIPE: Apple Cobbler – Myrtle Vaughn “Mom” Shoupe


½ cup margarine (1 stick)                    ½ cup shortening
2 cups sugar                                        1/3 cup milk
2 cups water                                        2 cups finely chopped apples
1 tsp. cinnamon                                   1 ½ cups sifted self-rising flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees; Melt the margarine in a 13X9X2 inch baking dish or sheet cake pan. In a saucepan, heat the sugar and water until sugar melts. Cut shortening into flour until particles are like fine crumbs. Add milk and stir with a fork only until the 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 ¼ inch thick. Sprinkle cinnamon over apples; then sprinkle 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 will look like too much liquid, but the crust will absorb it.) Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.

Cobbler variation: This cobbler may be made with other fresh, frozen or canned fruits, such as blackberries, cherries or peaches. If packed in liquid, drain and substitute for part of the sugar syrup. Always use 2 cups of liquid.
