This is one of my favorite pie toppers because the only skill it takes is knowing how to stop before you make too many cut-outs. Roll out a top crust, or unravel one from a box, and cut out a big shape, or take any sort of small cutter that you have to make a pattern. Use cookie cutters, small biscuit cutters, or the end of a piping tip. Try making decorative polka dots, stars, cherries, or small apples. Once you’ve cut out as many shapes as you want, You can place the top crust on your pie with the help of the rolling pin or, for fragile designs, use the same technique mentioned above. Create the design and chill the pie crust on a cutting board by putting it in the freezer for five or ten minutes. Once it’s set, egg wash the top edge of the bottom crust, slide the top crust off of the cutting board, and straight onto the pie filling. Crimp the edges to seal and egg wash the top. Bake as usual.
