INSTRUCTIONS

APPLE CAVITY
SYRUP
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Measure flour into mixing bowl and mix
salt through it. With pastry blender, cut in shortening until
shortening particles are the size of giant peas. Sprinkle with water,
a tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with a fork until all the
flour is moistened. Gather dough together with fingers so it cleans
the bowl. Press firmly into a ball. Peel and core 6 medium apples
(prefer red rome). Roll out pastry into an 18x12 inch rectangle,
about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 6 inch squares. Make mixture of 1/2
cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon for filling cavities of
apples. Next, prepare a syrup by boiling together for at least 3
minutes the following ingredients: 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2 1/2 cups
water, 3 tablespoons butter and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Place apple on
each square of pastry. Fill the cavity with sugar and cinnamon
mixture; dot with butter. Bring opposite points of pastry up over the
apple. Overlap, moisten and seal. Lift carefully, place a little
apart in baking dish. Pour boiling syrup over dumplings. Bake
immediately until crust is nicely browned and apples are cooked
through. Serve warm with the syrup and with cream, whipped cream, or
ice cream. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately.
If you have a favorite pie crust recipe, you certainly may use it.
Just remember recipe for 9 inch, 2 pie crust will provide enough
dough for 6 dumplings.

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: more relevant than we could ever comprehend”

Eternity is a sea without bottom and banks. After millions of years, there is not one minute in eternity wasted; and the damned must be ever burning, but never consuming, always dying, but never dead. The fire of hell is such, as multitudes of tears will not quench it, length of time will not finish it; the vial of God’s wrath will always be dropping upon a sinner. As long as God is eternal, He lives to be avenged upon the wicked. Oh eternity! Eternity! Who can fathom it? Mariners have their plummets to measure the depths of the sea; but what line or plummet shall we use to fathom the depth of eternity? The breath of the Lord kindles the infernal lake (Isa 30:33), and where shall we have engines or buckets to quench that fire? O eternity! If all the body of the earth and sea were turned to sand, and all the air up to the starry heaven were nothing but sand, and a little bird should come every thousand years, and fetch away in her bill but the tenth part of a grain of all that heap of sand, what numberless years would be spent before that vast heap of sand would be fetched away! Yet, if at the end of all that time, the sinner might come out of hell, there would be some hope; but that word “Forever” breaks the heart. “The smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever.” What a terror is this to the wicked, enough to put them into a cold sweat, to think, as long as God is eternal, He lives forever to be avenged upon them!

Thomas Watson
