Preparation Steps

• Roll out one pie crust (or one half of pie crust recipe) and place in a 9-inch pie plate.
• Roll out your top pie crust to a 12-inch circle and chill until ready to top the pie.
• Fill your pie with your desired pie filling.
• Remove the rolled out top crust from the refrigerator.
• Use various cookie cutters in desired shapes to plan out your design: use mini letter/number cutters to spell a message or create a "lattice" using rows of cuts using fondant cutters. Discard cut pieces of pie dough.
• Place top crust on the pie and crimp edges as desired. Brush with egg wash and bake according to pie recipe directions.
