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.

Question
I am puzzled by the puff pastry method… the flour is to be just thrown into the boiling water, won’t it clump? What would happen if the flour and salt was first mixed with a bit of cold water? Would it still clump? Or what would happen? Or has it never been tried this way before?

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
