Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 cup shortening |
3/4 cup milk |
2 cups water |
2 cups sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 cup butter or margarine |
2 1/2 cups shredded granny smith apple |
1 cup chopped dried apricot |
1 (3-ounce) package dried cranberries |
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
sweetened whipped cream (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 3 or 4 times. Pat or roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness, shaping into a 12- x 8-inch rectangle.
3. Bring 2 cups water and next 3 ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan; boil, stirring often, 5 minutes. Remove syrup from heat, and stir in butter.
4. Combine apple and next 3 ingredients; sprinkle over dough. Roll up dough, jellyroll fashion, starting at a long side; press seam, and pinch ends to seal. Cut into 1-inch slices. Place slices in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan; pour syrup over top.
5. Bake at 425° for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden. Serve warm; top with whipped cream, if desired.
