Do you have problems making those perfect crimped edges on your crust? Well, this solves the problem and also creates an interesting look for your pie.
Either make your own crust or take two pre-made crusts. If you have made your own roll all the dough out to be what would be the size of two crusts laying together. If you have purchased your crust; lay on in the pie pan from basically the center out...lay the other slightly over the other in the pan and press together to form one , making sure you have over lapped it enough to cover the entire inside of the pan. Place your filling in the pie plate and gently lift the crust toward the center.
Now, you can slightly press along the edge of the plate, to create a pattern or leave as is. You can adjust the dough along the top to create evenness and slight folds. If it does not meet in the middle that is fine. That will vent steam from your pie.
By creating simple folds or lines you can make the top crust your own design. Either way the pie now has a one of a kind top crust.
ENJOY!
