Directions

Sift flour and salt into mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add oil and egg. Gradually work in, adding warm water. Knead dough very well to improve the elasticity of the dough. Place dough in a bowl set in a pan of warm water or on a bread board and covered with a heated iron skillet. Prepare filling while dough warms. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

When dough is warm, stretch it over a floured cloth on a table until paper thin. Trim hard edges. Brush with melted butter. Arrange apple slices over all of dough except about 6 inches on one end. Combine remaining ingredients and sprinkle over apples. Drizzle with remaining butter. Roll as for jelly roll. Arrange in horseshoe shape in greased 15x18 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour, brushing occasionally with more melted butter.
