Bread Pudding and Apple Dumplings

I 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!! --Denise
Hi Denise, Guess what? I’ve got a terrific bread pudding recipe I think you’ll love. English Bread Pudding calls for apple, spices and mixed dried fruit – you can certainly use all raisins if you like!  As for an easy dumpling – how about Peach Dumplings? It uses refrigerated crescent roll dough so you know it’s easy!  And if you’ve really got a hankering for apples, you could substitute cored and halved apples for the halved peaches.

What Others Have To Say

Hi Thelma,
I don’t have exactly what you’re looking for, but something close. French apple pie is usually an apple pie with a crumb or streusel top, instead of pastry crust. So you could make my Walnut Crumb Apple Pie and add 1/2 cup or so of raisins to the apples. Or do the same to the Streusel-Sour Cream Apple Pie on our sister site, EasyEverdayCooking.com

    Grandma,

    Our farmers’ market has such great corn on the cob! Can I use fresh corn in recipes that call for canned?

    I have a collection of your recipes, but I have lost my favorite mac & cheese one. Could you tell me how to make it? It was just mac and cheese, no meat. I’m sad that I have lost it, I was looking forward to having it for dinner tomorrow. If you can help I would appreciate it. Thank you Barbra

    Do you have a recipe for any zucchini desserts? I think my mom tried zucchini in a pie instead of apple and it tasted just like apple. I have a recipe for bread, but that is it. Thanks, --Anishka

    When making an old-fashioned cherry pie with cherries you just picked, do you cook your cherries with sugar and cornstarch or flour before putting it in the pie crust?
