Ingredients:  
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. water
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
3 TBSP. butter

Directions:
Directions:
Combine sugar, water and spices in a pan and bring to a boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes
and remove from heat. Stir in butter.


Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add milk all at once and stir just until flour is moistened.
Divide dough in half.
Roll out first half on a lightly floured board to cover the bottom of a greased 8 or 9 inch deep casserole.
Cover the dough with the sliced apples (there will be lots of apples) . Sprinkle apples with more cinnamon and dot with butter.
Rollout remaining dough and place over the apples. It may not cover the apple layer but this will not matter.
Pour the syrup over the top and bake at 375 degrees about 35 minutes or until apples are tender.

Serve warm with cheddar cheese.

Personal Notes:
Doug's Mom, Gail, used this recipe to make this, Doug's favourite boyhood dessert. However, she used whole apples, cutting the biscuit dough into squares and covering each apple, a very time consuming endeavor. Although her presentation was so much more pleasing, this version tastes the same. It is very sweet and may not suit all tastes but I like to make it periodically, remembering Gail and how much she loved baking for her family.
