Pie Crust Lattice
Prep Time: About 20 minutes Bake Time: 30-45 minutes, depending on your pie recipe Total time: 50-65 minutesIngredients:
- Pre-made frozen pie crust, thawed and rolled out to 2 12-inch circles.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400
- Transfer one rolled-out crust to a 9 inch pie plate, letting some crust overhang all around.
- Press the crust gently into the bottom of the pie plate, and trim the extra from the edges, making sure you leave enough to cover the edge completely.
- Fill with your desired pie filling.
- Lay the remaining dough circle on a lightly floured surface and use a butter knife to cut into 10 fairly even strips.
- Lay 5 strips vertically across the pie filling. Starting with the left side, fold alternating strips back half way.
- Lay one strip horizontally across the center of the pie.
- Fold the strips back down, and fold back the alternate strips.
- Lay another strip horizontally across the vertical strips.
- Fold the strips back down, and fold back alternate strips.
- Repeat until all strips are used, and a crosshatch pattern has formed.
- Beat one egg, and use a pastry brush to coat top crust.
- Bake pie according to your recipe.
