Pretty crusts have always alluded me, but no more! Earlier this year I made a cobbler and by chance had left my jar of cookie cutters on the counter-right where I could see them! In that "ah-hah" moment right before cutting the pie crust into strips for a not so perfect lattice top I stopped, opened the jar, pulled out a cookie cutter and started cutting the crusts. A pretty pie was born!
Making pie crust from scratch is amazing easy but I confess I usually keep a store bought one in the fridge during holidays for quick access. Honestly though, my grandmother's recipe is wonderful and because I use a food processor or big stand mixer it's no trouble at all.

Once your pie is built, you can put on your fancy crust.
|
 |
- Use cookie cutters to cute shapes from pie crust. Layer them on top of the pie filling.
- Spray the top crust with "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" spray
- (or brush on melted butter if you have a Martha Stewart streak)
- Sprinkle a little granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Bake according to the pie recipe, usually around 40-60 minutes.
