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

QuestionI 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 BarbraMarch 2012

QuestionDo 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, --AnishkaMarch 2012

Question
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?

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
