That pumpkin pie with the braided edge is triggering my OCD. That one little tiny bubble...

I am glad pies are getting the serious love and attention cakes get

My son loves pies. For his birthday in June we are planning a pie party, sweet and savory! Who needs birthday cake, anyway? This article comes at the right time. Thanks. So many great ideas Try.

Love this article and these ideas! Erin, do you have a favorite pie crust recipe you would suggest?

Cut out leaf shapes to strew over lattice top. Egg wash and turbinado sugar. A little quince mixed in with apples so that pink juices ooze over all of the above. (Thanks for this week of pie and congratulations on the book!)

Thanks for the directions for the lovely pie crust rims! I just asked about the braided rim and presto--it's there waiting for me!

Thanks for such a great article! I think I'm going to go with the circle edge for Thanksgiving this year. Cross your fingers for me...

I've been really wanting to try the braided crust but always get worried about it getting too warm (and then tough) while I'm working.

I do the double crust cut out trick shown above, but use tiny seasonal cookie cutters, such as maple leaves for autumn pies, stars for Independence Day, small reindeer arranged in concentric circles, or candles, or stars for Christmas. Can't wait to see others' comments here! ;o)

Antonia, do your cut-outs distort in the baking? Mine did last time and you could not tell what they had been. But I will do them again--love the idea, especially when they hold their shape. I was using stars for the 4th--and they curled up and went every which way.

Great ideas! I think I'll have try a few (or all) of them to be ready for the holidays.
