OK here it is. Have any of you ever heard of Rolly Poley's? They can be made several ways. When I was a kid, way back there in the Dark Ages, Rollys were made with left over pie dough from the original pie. What you do is gather that dough up and shape it into a near rectangle, with the help of a rolling pin, so that the dough is the same thickness. You spread butter or oleo,er margarine, over it being careful to get to the very edges. Then you sprinkle sugar, cinnamon evenly over the butter and kinda thick and starting at the long side, roll it up until it looks like a jelly roll. Then you slices pieces off of the roll as you would a loaf of bread. Place the rollys evenly around a pie pan or cookie sheet and bake until golden brown.

Again you can add your favorite ingredients like apple pie spices, chopped nuts, currents or raisins or what ever you have on hand, like dried apricots or dates cut in tiny pieces. Around here, we have to make extra pie dough so that there are a lot of the rollys.

Another good thing to do is to use a frozen pie crust if you are too tired or haven't had the time to mix up the dough. They sure disappear fast too.
