2 cup Flour
1 tablespoon Balking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoon Sugar
One half cup Shortening
Three fourths cup Milk
2 cup Water
2 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
One half teaspoon Ground cloves
One half cup Butter
2 One half cup Granny smith apple; shredded
1 cup Dried apricots; chopped
1 pack (3 oz) dried cranberries
One half cup Chopped pecans; toasted
Sweetened whipped cream

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 One half 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.
