Favorite cookbooks, Alice's turn 1st

Last time I said I'd start a series of Favorite Recipe, from Favorite Cookbooks, and today is the oldest. My grandmother Alice gave this to me.  She had the book as a   young mother, and indeed, it has pencil scribbles from her first son inside the cover. That makes me smile.

The recipe is Apple Roll No. 1

Make a simple syrup of 1 cup water, and 1 cup sugar. (bring it to a boil til sugar is dissolved, and 1 minute longer)

Make biscuit dough of 1 cup flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt,  

with 2 tablespoons shortening

and about 5-6 Tablespoons water.

Roll out  about 7x10 inches, then cover with 1 1/2 cups chopped apple pieces, and cut into 6 slices.

Place into 8 inch baking pan, with the syrup on the bottom, and top with a bit of butter, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top.

Bake 350* 30 minutes.

Yum...

 Off for a cup of tea, and my quiet time.

(I might have already had a little sampling. I ate Chickie's part. Mine is for supper😋)

Oh, serve this warm.......

I'll label this : recipes, fall

but it's good anytime you have a stray apple or two.
