Apricot Pinwheel Dessert

From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com.

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup low-fat milk
3 cups chopped fresh apricots
1 tablespoon butter, soft

2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar

Whisk flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt well. Cut in butter and stir in the milk to make a soft dough. Knead lightly and roll out to a 6 by 12 inch rectangle, about 1/3 inch thick. Spread with apricots and dot with butter. Roll up like a jelly roll and pinch edges to seal. Slice 2 inches thick. Put remaining sugar and the water in a 9 by 13 inch pan and cook on stove top for 5 minutes. Place slices, cut-side down, in boiling water mixture. Bake at 425 degrees 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.
