Let me tell you: this is not one of those recipes that I leisurely created after doing hours of research, compiling recipes, trial runs, etc. These cupcakes were first created out of pure necessity. I received a call asking if I could bake cupcakes for a child’s birthday party the following afternoon. The catch: they had to be free of gluten, corn, peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, and soy.

I know this post is too late for Thanksgiving, but maybe a Christmas pie or tart is on the menu? I sure hope so because this crust will surely elevate any pie filling.
