Because the Woman Who Created Betty Crocker was Amazing

Betty Crocker is just wonderful. Most of us know this. I’ve always used Betty Crocker products and continue to because there is a great line of Betty Crocker Gluten Free products that those with gluten/wheat allergies need to have.

If you aren’t a Betty Crocker member online you definitely should be – gluten free or not. It’s super easy and free! Anyways, here are some great recipes that you can use Betty Crocker Gluten Free Bisquick in. These recipes are quick, easy and delicious. So it’s a Bisquick day! Let’s get going!

Doughnut Holes 

Rolled in cinnamon-sugar, these doughnut holes are a real breakfast treat! They’re easy to make with Bisquick Gluten Free mix.

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 1/4 cups Bisquick Gluten Free mix
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons buttery spread (such as Earth Balance Buttery Spread) or margarine, melted
• 1/3 cup buttermilk or buttermilk substitute – mix 1 cup of rice milk (or coconut milk) with 1 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. To ensure that the mixture doesn’t get lumpy, mix the cream of tartar with 2 tablespoons of rice milk. Once mixed, add the rest of the cup of rice milk. Cream of tartar is an acid and will simulate the acidic environment of buttermilk.) then just use 1/3 of the mixture
• 1 egg, beaten

1. In deep fryer or 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches oil to 375°F. In shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
2. In medium bowl, mix remaining ingredients until smooth. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Carefully drop balls, 5 or 6 at a time, into hot oil. Fry about 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown on all sides; drain on paper towels. Immediately roll in cinnamon-sugar.

Impossibly Easy Gluten-Free French Apple Pie

Apple pie is my all time favorite dessert. I’ve never been much of a cherry or blueberry girl and pumpkin and sweet potato aren’t really my taste either. There is something about a fresh homemade apple pie that always makes me smile. While I could have used a gluten-free pie crust for this recipe, I decided not to and it still turned out delicious! If you want, you can use a gluten-free pie crust and just follow the instructions for the pie crust.

Impossibly Easy Gluten-Free French Apple Pie

Ingredients

For the Filling

• 3 cups thinly sliced peeled Fuji apples (3 medium) (or your favorite baking apple – I also left the peels on this time for this pie but you can peel them if you’d like)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1/2 cup Bisquick Gluten Free mix
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup rice milk
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted (I used Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread – so good)
• 3 eggs

For the Streusel

• 1/3 cup Bisquick Gluten Free mix
• 1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional) – I am not a fan of nuts in dessert and neither is anyone in my family really so I did not include any kinds of nut. But if you are nuts about nuts add your favorite!
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons firm butter or margarine (Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread)

1. Heat oven to 325ºF. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix apples, cinnamon and nutmeg; place in pie plate.
2. In medium bowl, stir remaining filling ingredients until well blended. Pour over apple mixture in pie plate. In small bowl, mix all streusel ingredients, using fork, until crumbly; sprinkle over filling.
3. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Store in refrigerator.

Such a quick and easy recipe! I hope it brings warmth to your kitchen and to your tummy.
