Apple Roly-Poly

One pint of flour; one teaspoon of baking powder; one teaspoon of salt; milk; one tablespoon of lard or butter; one teacup of sugar; two teaspoons of cinnamon; apples. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt well together, rub the lard into them, and when all is thoroughly mixed, add sufficient sweet milk to make a soft dough. Turn the dough out upon the moldingboard, mold it smooth, sifting flour under it to prevent its sticking to the board, and roll it into a sheet one-fourth of an inch thick. Spread this thickly with sliced apples, and sift over them the sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough up the same as jelly cake, press the overlapping parts of dough well to the body of the pudding and also press the ends well to prevent the escape of the juices. Place the pudding on a plate, set the plate in a steamer over a kettle of hot water, and steam one and one-half hours.
