Baked Apples Stuffed With Mascarpone

False teaching can appear in many different forms; but we can divide them into two main sections. Sometimes it takes the form of a blatant denial of the Truth and of the cardinal principles and tenets of the Christian faith… But false teaching does not always take that form. There is another form… Here it is not so much a denial of the faith, not so much a contradiction of the cardinal elements, as a teaching which suggests that something else is required in addition to what we have already believed.

		lbs
1/4	c	Dried currants
1/3	c	Brandy
6	oz	Mascarpone
1/2	c	Chopped walnuts

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Core the apples, leaving the bottoms
intact. Peel off the skin around the top, leaving two-thirds of the
apple unpeeled. Use a grapefuit spoon to hollow out about a 1  1/2-inch
wide by 2 1/2-inch deep pocket in the center of each apple.  Place the
currants and brandy in a small saucepan over low heat.  Bring to a
simmer and remove from the heat. Pour the currants and  brandy into a
small bowl and let cool. When cool, mix in the  mascarpone, walnuts and
brown sugar. Fill the pockets of the apples  with the stuffing and
place the apples in a shallow baking pan. Add  about 1 inch of water.
Bake until the apples are tender, about 30  minutes. Serve the stuffed
apples warm or cold.  Source: "Starbucks Passion for Coffee".  Date:

Trials can devastate us because we are often looking as to how they are affecting our lives. Yet when we can die to self and desire God’s glory as a result of them, we are given an entirely different outlook. We can actually rejoice if we know God’s name, God’s glory is being magnified as witnessed through our response to the trial. Specifically how? When others see our Christlike attitude – gratitude verses complaining, kindness verses anger, faith verses anxiety, contentment verses greed and joy verses bitterness – God is glorified. It means very little when godly character and spiritual fruit only appear when things are going well in our lives.
