God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world. It is not the X-rated video, but the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night… For when these replace an appetite for God Himself, the idolatry is scarcely recognizable, and almost incurable.
Yet what is faith? What is true biblical belief? It is not merely intellectual assent. Rather it’s a reliance upon Christ. It’s a dependence on Him that commits one’s entire life into His loving arms. It’s living for Him. It’s a desire to be like Him. Ultimately, it’s a desire for Him.
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.
