Apple Dumpling Casserole

Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, shortening, and milk. Pat half of the mixture into a 9×13 greased baking dish (I use glass). Cover dough with about 7 peeled and sliced apples. Pat the rest of the dough over this. (By the way, this is ‘rough’ because it’s hard to pat evenly. It doesn’t matter, comes out great anyway!)

Boil sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, water, butter, and lemon juice, stirring occasionally. Pour sauce over all and bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.

Note: this is rich, so you don’t need as much as other apple desserts in one sitting. It freezes great, which is good because it makes a lot!
