Living in Maryland there can be a lot of influence from the Pennsylvania Dutch country and this Dutch Apple Roll Recipe is representative of that influence.

Recipe Ingredients:

6 apples

2 cups of all purpose flour

1 twaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

2/4 cup crisco shortening

1/2 cup milk

2 cups sugar

2 cups water

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup butter

Begin preparing the apples by peeling, coring and chopping them up, then set aside. In a medium bowl sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in the shortening and add milk, when you get a dough like consistency roll out on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness.  Cut 1/4 cup butter into pats and smear randomly on dough. Sprinkle dough with chopped apples and then sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the apples.  Now roll the dough up like a jelly roll and cut into slices 1 inch thick. Arrange roll slices on a baking pan.

Now dissolve 2 cups of sugar in 2 cups of water and boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup of butter. Boil until slightly thickened. Pour sauce over apple roll slices and bake in oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.  Serve warm with whipped cream.
