Ingredients
- 1 Homemade pie dough (click link for recipe. If you need a bottom crust as well you can double this recipe for two crusts.)
Instructions
- Roll pie crust into 12" circle.
- Use a knife, pizza cutter, or pastry wheel (I used a pastry wheel for the crust in these photos) to cut the pie crust into 1" strips.
- Evenly space 5 pie strips horizontally over pie filling. Reserve longer pieces for the center of the pie and shorter ones for closer to the edges.
- Fold back strips 1, 3, and 5 and lay a long strip vertically across the center of the pie, perpendicular to the horizontal strips.
- Take the strips that you had folded back and lay them back over the new strip and across the pie. Now fold back horizontal strips 2 and 4 and place another vertical strip across the pie.
- Repeat these steps with a new strip and then repeat on the opposite side of the pie. See video for a visual, if desired.
- Trim the parts of the strips that are hanging over the edges then either use a fork to crimp together the strips and the bottom crust or fold the crust over the edges of the strips and use your finger to flute (visual provided in video).
- Gently brush pie crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse or granulated sugar, if desired. Bake according to your pie recipe's instructions. If pie crust begins to get too dark before the pie has baked through, loosely tent with aluminum foil.
