Apple Dumpling Spirals

This is an awesome way to use apples on a cool autumn day. They look like cinnamon rolls, but taste like apple dumplings--complete with sauce--but a whole lot easier to make. Great warm from the oven with vanilla ice cream. I got this recipe from a 1999 issue of hometown cooking. Enjoy!!

Steps

For sauce , mix together the 2 cups sugar , water , butter , the 1 / 4 tsp cinnamon and the nutmeg.
Bring to a boil , and boil for about 5 minutes.
Set aside.
In a large bowl , mix together flour , baking powder , and salt.
Cut shortening into the flour with a pastry blender until pea sizes.
Make a well in center and pour milk in all at once.
On a well floured surface , knead dough until almost smooth , only about a dozen strokes.
Roll dough into a 12x10-inch rectangle.
Mix together remaining sugar and cinnamon.
Cover dough with apples.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Roll into a log and pinch seam to seal.
Cut into 12 1-inch slices with a serrated bread knife.
Place slices into a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
Pour sauce over all.
Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes or until golden.
