What moves God is not our supposed goodness or trophies of righteousness, but rather our desperation and cry to Him for grace. If we could earn it, grace would no longer be grace. Grace by its very definition is giving us what we do not deserve. If we were entitled to God’s favor, it would be a wage that we are due. But since we have merited nothing from God and God being God owes us nothing, we see His favor both in salvation and the blessings that follow all as a token of His undeserved grace to the praise of His glory.
FOR THE PIE
FOR THE TOPPING
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
To make the pie: 1) Combine the first measure of flour, salt and shortening
using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir
in the water a little at a time, using a fork, and form the dough into a
ball. 2) Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured board. Roll to
an 11" or 12" diameter and fit into a 9" pie pan fluting the edges. 3)
Combine the sugar, the second measure of flour, the cinnamon, the nutmeg
and the lemon juice in a large bowl then toss the apple slices in the
mixture and arrange them in the pie crust.
To make the topping: 4) Combine the sugar and flour in a bowl and cut in
the butter using a pastry cutter then sprinkle the topping over the apple
filling. 5) Place the pie in the LARGE paper bag and place the paper
bag on a baking sheet and loosely fold the open end of the bag under. Bake
until the apples are tender (50-60 minutes). 6) Carefully remove the pie
from the bag ~ CAUTION: WATCH OUT FOR THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE BAG! 7)
Serve warm with generous portions of vanilla ice cream.
