Apple Pinwheels

I got this recipe from my mom, Yum!! It's like apple pie in a cinnamon roll form :)

1 stick butter
2 c. sugar
2 c. water
1 1/2 c. self rising flour*
1/2 c. shortening
1/3 c. milk
2 c. finely chopped apples
1 Tbsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350º. Melt butter in 9x13" pan. In saucepan melt sugar and water. Cut shortening into flour until it resembles fine crumbs. Add milk and mix until it pulls away from the bowl. Turn out on floured board and knead until smooth. Roll out to 1/4" thick rectangle. Put cinnamon in apples and put onto dough. Roll up like a jelly roll and slice. Put in pan and cover with sugar water. Bake 55-60 minutes.

*Note- if you don't have self rising flour, you can make it! For 1 cup of self rising: 1 cup of all purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
