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!!

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.

Question
How do I make cookies in Nevada??! I live in what is considered high altitude (4200-4300 ft above sea level) and can't seem to get my cookies to rise at all. Quite frankly, I couldn't do it in Oregon either. I have fresh baking powder and baking soda, and the same cookie recipe my family has been using for generations. I just can't get them to rise. Great for hockey pucks though!

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
