INSTRUCTIONS
Pour the boiling water over the salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar and shortening. When it is lukewarm, add the yeast which has been dissolved in the 2 tablespoons of lukewarm water. Add the egg and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Let this batter rise at 85F until double in bulk, then add the remaining flour. Knead until smooth. Let rise again for 1 hour. Divide the dough into 14 parts. Roll out each part until 1/2" thick. Peel, core, and cut apples in half. Place a half, cut side up, on each piece of dough. Combine the remaining ingredients and fill the cores with the mixture. Press the dough firmly together over the apples and invert on a dull, greased, cookie tin. Brush with melted shortening, and sprinkle with a little sugar and ground cinnamon. Let rise for 1 hour. Bake at 350F for 40 minutes, until a rich brown. Serve hot. Allow 1 or 2 for each portion. From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
