Lattice Pie Crust

Making a lattice top for a pie can often be intimidating. But once you learn a few "tricks of the trade," its a snap to create a yummy pie that not only tastes great, but looks incredible!


Begin by rolling out your dough onto a floured surface. Cut dough into strips. I use a pizza cutter.




Begin by placing strips across pie with a center cross.



Add strips working to the outside, alternating vertical and horizontal strips.



Strips are easily placed by pulling back every other strip to complete the woven look.




Remove all the excess dough and flute the edges. Brush pie with egg or cream, or a combo of both. Dust with sanding sugar. Sanding sugar is a coarse white sugar that gives your pie a nice shimmer.




The result is a beautiful pie that no one will be able to resist!!
