Apple Dumplings
Do you have an apple dumpling recipe? They are too expensive to buy at the store and I would love to make them myself.
--Amanda
Hi Amanda,
I don’t happen to have an actual apple dumpling recipe on the site, but I do have a recipe for what I often call Lazy Woman’s Apple Dumplings, which uses store-bought tortillas instead of pastry dough. The recipe is Apple Quesadillas – you might want to give it try!

QuestionI used to get the cards in the mail but one recipe has gone missing from my collection and no one will fess up. It was one of the 'keepsake cookies' and I think it was called Double Chocolate Chip Cookies. What I remember about them were that they were chocolate cookies with chocolate chips in them and that you had to refrigerate the dough overnight. It was a HUGE family favorite. Can you help me? --AnneMarch 2012

QuestionI would love to have a recipe for homemade apple dumplings! And I notice you don't have a basic recipe for bread pudding with raisins. I grew up on this and just love it!!! I am not the best at making baked goods that required a lot of work. So I hope you can come up with these recipes!! Thank you!! --DeniseMarch 2012

QuestionWe are having an “Alice in Wonderland” tea party this weekend for my daughter’s 17th birthday and would really like to make some petit fours that say “eat me.” But… I don’t know how. Any suggestions? I'm okay with using fondant to cover them, but apart from that, I just need the simplest and least expensive way to pull off this tea party. Also, any other “tea” food ideas would be great. Thanx!March 2012
