Name: Baked Cranberry-Apple Dumplings (2 of 2)
Ingredients: -DIRECTIONS:

We do not choose suffering simply because we are told to, but because the one who tells us to describes it as the path to everlasting joy. He beckons us into the obedience of suffering not to demonstrate the strength of our devotion to duty, nor to reveal the vigor of our moral resolve, nor to prove the heights of our tolerance for pain; but rather to manifest, in childlike faith, the infinite preciousness of his all-satisfying promises. Moses 'chose to share ill-treatment with the people of God rather than enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin…because he looked to the reward' (Hebrews 11:25-26). Therefore his obedience glorified the reward of grace, not the resolve to suffer.

13-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan. On lightly floured pastry cloth, roll pastry
into a rectangle 30 by 4-1/2 inches. With pastry wheel or knife, cut

Press sides and bottoms of pastry against apples. Place in baking dish,
sides not touching. Spoon melted butter into centers. Brush pastry with egg
yolk mixed with 2 teaspoons water. Sprinkle with reserved cinnamon-sugar.

yolk. Continue baking dumplings 20 to 30 minutes longer, or until apples

cranberries and sugar. Mash cranberries slightly with spoon. Add maple
syrup and 1/4 cup water; mix well. Bring to boiling, stirring, about 3
minutes, or until cranberries pop. Add chopped apple and butter. Bring to
boiling; reduce heat, and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Remove apples to
