Apple Cobbler
"From Soul Food Recipes Learned On a North Carolina
Tobacco Farm"
We made apple pies and cobblers frorm apples we picked
from neighbors farms (with permission of course). The
best tasting applescame from this one particular farm
that had about 10 large trees. The ripened apples were
red with large white marks and were very sweet. I don't
know what kind they were. We were free to pick these
apples but the still came at a price. This farm was filled
with sand spurs. They clung to all of your clothes and
stuck to your fingers when you pulled them off. A small
price ot pay for great apples though.
Ingredients:
1/2 cups self-rising flour
2 cups peeled and sliced apples
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup butterr
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup crisco shortening
Preparation:
1. Place the flour into a bowl and stir the shortening
into it.

thoroughly. Add in apples and stir lightly.
