Name: Pareve Apple Cake
Ingredients: 5 McIntosh apples; peeled and sliced, up to 6; 2 ts Cinnamon; 5 tb Sugar; 1 Lemon ; juice of; 3 c Flour; 2 c Sugar; 1 c Vegetable oil; 4 Eggs beaten; 1/4 c Orange juice; 3 ts Baking powder; 2 1/2 ts Vanilla; 1 ts Salt; 1 c Chopped walnuts; (optional but I normally don't leave it out unless I have a guest with an allergy)

Thom Rainer did a study a number of years ago asking formerly unchurched people the open-ended question, “What factors led you to choose this church?” A lot of surveys had been done asking the unchurched what they would like in a church. But this study asked the formerly unchurched why they actually were now in a church. The results were surprising: 11 percent said worship style led them to their church, 25 percent said children’s/youth ministry, and 37 percent said they sensed God’s presence at their church. For 41 percent, someone from the church had witnessed to them, and 49 percent mentioned friendliness as the reason for choosing their church. Can you guess the top two responses? Doctrine and preaching – 88 percent said the doctrine led them to their church, and 90 percent said the preaching led them there, in particular, a pastor who preached with certitude and conviction… When it comes to reaching outsiders, bold, deep, biblical preaching is not the problem. It’s part of the solution.

Adapted from the Applewood Orchards Cookbook
Combine above "A" ingredients and set aside.
In a large bowl combine "B".
Grease a bundt or cake pan ( 1/2 steam table foil works because it's deep).
Put 1/2 the batter in the pan; cover with apples and then remaining batter.
Bake 350 for 1 hour or until tester comes out clean. Note: when apples
aren't in season or just for a change I've used prune plums, pears and even
cherry pie filling.
