What is the result of…people-idolatry? As in all idolatry, the idol we choose to worship soon owns us. The object we fear overcomes us. Although insignificant in itself, the idol becomes huge and rules us. It tells us how to think, what to feel, and how to act. It tells us what to wear, it tells us to laugh at the dirty joke, and it tells us to be frightened to death that we might have to get up in front of a group and say something. The whole strategy backfires. We never expect that using people to meet our desires leaves us enslaved to them.

INSTRUCTIONS

APPLE MIXTURE
BATTER
To prepare the apple mixture: Melt the butter in a saute pan over medium
heat. When the butter has melted, add the brown sugar and stir constantly
until the sugar has melted. Add the apple slices and saute until the apples
are just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the lemon
zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add the
butter and work it into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a pastry
blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Stir together the egg, egg yolk, milk, vanilla, and lemon zest. Add the
liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just blended.
Butter a 6-cup shallow baking dish and arrange the cooled apples in the
dish. Spread the batter evenly over the apples. Bake for 20 minutes, or
until the top is lightly browned and springs back when touched. Let the
pudding cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Yield: 6 servings
