Bring 2 cups water and next 3 ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan; boil, stirring often, 5 minutes. Remove syrup from heat, and stir in butter. Combine apple and next 3 ingredients; sprinkle over dough. Roll up dough, jellyroll fashion, starting at a long side; press seam, and pinch ends to seal. Cut into 1 inch slices. Place slices in a lightly greased 13 x 9 inch pan; pour syrup over top. Bake at 425° for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden. Serve warm; top with whipped cream, if desired. Yield: 10 to 12 servings.
