Sharing In The Kitchen- Decorative Pie Crusts

  

I'm always looking for decorative pie crust ideas.  found this one the other day, and thought I'd share.

Decorative Pie Crusts

To make this pretty flower pie:

• Using a paring knife, cut pie dough into strips of various size. A 2 or 3 inch round cookie cutter will make the center of the flower.
• Lay the strips on top of the pie, sporadically overlapping the strips. Top with round center in the middle.
• Adhere strips together by dabbing with water, or brush egg wash over the finished pie.
• Sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake.
