Name: Apple Butter Torte
Ingredients: Graham crackers; Apple butter; Cool Whip

The church is the new covenant community – “This cup is the new covenant in my blood” (Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 11:25) – we say when we take communion. The new covenant is the spiritual work of God to put His Spirit within us, write the law on our hearts, and cause us to walk in His statutes. It is a spiritually authentic community. Unlike the old covenant community it is defined by true spiritual life and faith. Having these things is what it means to belong to the Church. Therefore to give the sign of the covenant, baptism, to those who are merely children of the flesh and who give no evidence of new birth or the presence of the Spirit or the law written on their heart or of vital faith in Christ is to contradict the meaning of the new covenant community and to go backwards in redemptive history.

When Diane wrote about my Butter Pecan Crunch reminding her of refrigerator
cake (layers of graham crackers and pudding), that reminded me of Apple
Butter Torte. No one can figure out exactly what this is when they taste
it, but they love it anyway.
Place two whole graham crackers side by side on a plate (long sides
together).  Spread with a thin layer of apple butter.  Top with two more
graham crackers.  Spread with another thin layer of apple butter.  Continue
until you have a stack about 4" high, finishing with graham crackers.
"Frost" with Cool Whip on all sides (except the bottom, of course! (g) ).
Refrigerate overnight. Slice from one short end. This is beautiful and
tasty!
