Name: Diabetic Baked Apples
Ingredients: 6 Baking apples (Stayman, Rome, etc) (up to 8); 1 (12-oz) cans Diet Black Cherry or Diet Raspberry Soda (up to 2); Ground Cinnamon (optional)

Let’s never be intimidated or depressed by our ordinariness and inadequacy and unimpressiveness. Most of us are quite ordinary. All of us can improve our preaching, and we will. But the sacred given is the message of the cross, which the Holy Spirit empowers in men of the cross. Let’s not disempower it. Let’s trust God’s strategy. God Himself entered into His own strategy through an egoless nobody named Jesus Christ, whom this brilliant world crucified. That Christ is sending us out to preach His message by His power. We are fully equipped in every essential with the testimony of God, the message of Christ crucified, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Will you decide to stake your whole ministry there?

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wash and core the apples. Use a vegetable peeler or paring knife and remove
the skin from the top third of the apple. Place the apples, peeled side up,
in a glass deep dish pie pan or other baking dish. Pour soda over the tops
to fill the holes and leave about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of liquid in the pan.
Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
Cover the pan with another deep dish pie pan or cover. Bake until soft,
basting occasionally. About 1/2 way through, you may want to turn the
apples upside down so that they take on the pretty red color and sweetness
of the soda. (It is also easier than remembering to baste them.) Just
remember to turn them right-side up when you remove them from the oven.
Store them in the liquid.
Serve hot or cold.
