4. If you're doing a one-crust pie, trim edges with a knife and flute edges with hands, and save the other half for a pie to be used within a couple days. If you're doing a two-crust pie, Fill the pie, then flatten out the other half of the pie dough as you did with the first half. Lattice, slice, cut, shape it into whatever you want, then lay it on the pie filling. Bake according to directions pertaining to pie filling. Enjoy!
