One of the most valuable aids to meditation is Scripture memorization. In fact, when I encounter someone who is battling discouragement or depression, I often ask two questions: “Are you singing to the Lord?” and “Are you memorizing Scripture?” These two exercises are not some magical formula to make all our problems go away, but they do have incredible power to change our perspective and attitude toward the issues we are facing.

INSTRUCTIONS

Roll out pastry and cut into squares enough  to cover apples completely.
Peel and core apples.  Roll in lemon juice. Then roll in white sugar and
cinnamon combined. Place on pastry square. Stuff core cavity with brown
sugar, butter, brown sugar in equal parts. (The amount depends on size of
core cavity, just stuff full.) Fold pastry up around apple to completely
enclose it.  Place in pan. Prepare sugar sauce by mixing water, sugar,
vanilla, butter, nutmeg, and mace and boiling for 1 minute. Let cool
slightly.  Pour over Apples. Bake in 375 F oven for 1 hour. Serve warm.
Note:  Apples may be frozen in pastry (before sugar sauce is added) if
desired.  Good dessert to make ahead if you have lots of apples around.
Just let thaw when ready to use, and cover with sugar sauce and bake as
usual.
