How to Make a Flower Pie Crust


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.
