God didn’t dictate the whole Bible the way an executive mechanically dictates letters to his secretary. The human authors’ personalities are like musical instruments. If I play the same tune on a number of wind instruments, each will sound different even if I play the exact melody in the same key and even though it’s all coming from the same breath – mine. If I play “Amazing Grace” on a tuba, baritone, trombone, French horn, trumpet, oboe, clarinet, and flute, it is all “Andy- breathed” or “Andy-produced,” but it goes through the “personality” of the instrument. In one sense that’s how God produced the Bible through human authors.

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.
