Bette Hagman dessert review

[Guest guest]

Tonight I made Bette Hagman's Apple Spoon Pudding from her " The Gluten

Free Gourmet makes Dessert, " on pg. 257. I used the featherlight mix.

It has chopped apples in a soft,sweet bready base, and lots of

cinnamon. The recipe turned out well, and according to DH was much like

a wheat version of this kind of soft bread pudding typre recipe, but it

just wasn't our kind of thing- too bready, if that makes sense. I would

give it a 5, and DH gave it a 6 (out of 10). But, if this was your kind

of dessert and something you remembered from childhood, you would

probably rate it a lot higher. I liked the skillet apple pie recipe

I posted a week or two ago a lot better. (adapted from a gluten recipe

I found online).

I’d love to see all of these recipes

posted – they sound great.

Thanks,

Becky

Hagman dessert review

I adapted a gluten recipe

last night for Polish Apple Cake and no one knew

the difference (until they saw me eating

it!). It tasted just the original

version. I've actually had really good luck

lately adapting old family

recipes for special occassions into gluten

free. I've done Grandmas

Cheesecake, the apple cake, and Chicken Paprika in

the last few weeks. If

anyone is interested I can post the recipes

later. My daughter is having an

" I stayed up too late " meltdown - got to

go intervene

I could never say no to cheesecake! do share!

I agree, a lot of gluten desserts really can be easily adapted. Just

not fancy things like cinnamon rolls or, sigh, puff pastry.
