Directions:
Mix flour, butter, sugar baking powder, salt, lemon rind and juice and eggs to make a dough. If too stiff add milk until right consistency. Divide dough into 3 parts. Roll one part to the size of a large baking pan (jelly roll pan). Mix raisins, walnuts, sugar and apple together and spread over first layer of dough. Roll the 2nd piece of dough to fit over the first one. Smear this with jam evenly. Roll the 3rd part of dough and cut into strips and place over jam in criss cross pattern. Whenever the crossings meet they should be pierced to prevent rising of dough. Brush milk over the strips and bake at 350º until golden brown.
