This blueberry dumplings recipe is both old-fashioned, high on flavor, and can be made refined sugar and gluten free, if ya need it. I love a recipe that knows how to adapt.

Do you ever eat a pie and fork out the filling, leaving the crust behind? In less than 15 minutes you can have 4 flaky pie crusts ready to bake or freeze and this crust is so good, you’ll be leaving the filling just to eat the crust! In fact, my seven-year-old did that tonight. […]
