Ingredients:





     1 c  All-purpose flour; sift


 1 1/2 ts Baking powder


   1/2 tb Salt


     1 tb Sugar


   1/4 c  Shortening


     1    Egg; slightly beaten


   1/4 c  Milk


     4 c  Tart apples; slice, peel,


          Core


   1/2 tb Cinnamon


   1/4 tb Nutmeg


     2 tb Granulated sugar


   1/2 c  Apricot jam


     2 tb Shortening; melt






     In a medium-large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt,


 and 1 tb granulated sugar. With two knives, cut the shortening into the


 flour until mixture is mealy. Make a well in the center and drop in the egg


 and milk. Stir in the flour mixture to form smooth batter, turn into


 greased 2-quart mold. Arrange the apples in rows on top, pushing them


 halfway into the dough. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, nutmeg and 2


 tablespoons sugar. Sprinkle over the apples and dot with apricot jam.


 Drizzle butter over all. Place in the slow cooker and cover loosely with a


 plate.  Cover the cooker, but prop the lid open a fraction with a toothpick


 or a twist of foil to let excess steam escape. Cook on High for 3 to 4


 hours.
