Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 batch pie crust
  • flour (for dusting the work surface to prevent sticking)
  • 1 egg (beaten with a tablespoon of water)
  • clear sparkling sugar (for garnish)

Instruction

  • Dust the work surface liberally with flour, and roll out half the pie dough to about 3 inches wider than the width of the pie dish.
  • Transfer the dough to the pie plate, and press it lightly into place, allowing any excess to drape over the sides of the pan.
  • Fill with pie filling.
  • Roll out the other half of the dough to about 3 inches wider than the width of the pie dish.
  • Cut the dough into strips.
  • Arrange half the strips over the pie, in parallel lines.
  • Fold every other strip up to about the mid-line of the pie.
  • Lay a strip over the middle of the pie, perpendicular to the others.
  • Fold the parallel strips back down, then fold up all the other strips.
  • Lay another perpendicular strip down, and repeat until all the strips have been used.
  • Trim any excess dough to about a 2-inch overhang.
  • Fold up the excess, pressing to adhere.
  • Crimp the edge of the pie.
  • Brush the pie with egg wash, and garnish with clear sparkling sugar, to garnish.
  • Bake according to recipe directions.
