![]() ![]() Remove the pie plate with the bottom crust from the fridge (if you've blind-baked the bottom crust, be sure it's cooled to room temperature). They can all be the same width (aim for about 1 inch wide) or you can vary the widths like we did above (the photos show 3/4-inch and 1 3/4-inch wide strips). Use sharp paring or utility knife and a ruler to cut it into even strips. To make the lattice, remove the last round of dough from the fridge and place on a lightly floured work surface. Transfer the leaves back to the cutting board or cookie sheet and return to the fridge for another 15 minutes. To make them extra beautiful, you can also use your paring knife to lightly score lines that mimic leaf veins (just make sure not to cut all the way through the leaves). Cut out shapes with fall leaf-shaped cookie cutters, or cut freeform leaf shapes with a paring knife if you prefer. To cut out the leaf shapes, remove one round of dough from the fridge and place on a lightly floured work surface. Transfer each to a large cutting board or rimless cookie sheet and chill until firm, about 15 minutes. Roll out the remaining two discs of dough on a lightly floured surface into 13-inch rounds (about 1/8-inch thick) to use for the leaf shapes and lattice. If your recipe requires a blind-baked bottom crust, you can go ahead and blind-bake and cool the crust after chilling. Roll out one disc of dough into a 13-inch round to make the bottom crust, fit into the pie plate, and trim (for more details on that, check out our how-to gallery). You will need three rounds of pie dough (a batch of dough for a double-crust pie plus a batch for a single crust). To make a leaf-and-lattice pie, you can use any double-crust pie recipe, or a single crust pie recipe like this pumpkin or pecan pie. Decorative pie crusts have been popping up on Pinterest with a clever mix of lattice stripes and fall leaf patterns, and we're in love with this fresh-feeling combination. Lattice pies are an OG favorite, but lately, they've gone surprisingly modern. ![]()
