2 cups | Flour |
1 tablespoon | Balking powder |
1 teaspoon | Salt |
2 tablespoons | Sugar |
½ cup | Shortening |
¾ cup | Milk |
2 cups | Water |
2 cups | Sugar |
1 teaspoon | Ground cinnamon |
½ teaspoon | Ground cloves |

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. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 3 or 4 times. Pat or roll dough to ½ inch thickness, shaping into a 12 x 8 inch rectangle. 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. 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. Bake at 425° for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden. Serve warm; top with whipped cream, if desired. Yield: 10 to 12 servings.
