A Pinch of Peach
A ripe peach pie is always a party pleaser. Make yours even peachier with a crust that complements the pie to perfection. After laying out the pre-made dough onto your pie pan, pinch the excess dough around the rim between your thumb and forefinger into half-moon shapes all around the perimeter to match the shapes of the sliced peaches in your filling. Tidy up the loose ends by removing excess in order to make the edges neat.
Once your pie is baked, you can place slices of fresh peaches right inside the pinched parts of the crust. Your pie will look like a professional creation – and only you will know the secret was right at your fingertips! -
Braided Blueberry Bliss
Blueberry pie could make any mouth water, but once you match the looks to the taste, you’ve really got a pie contest-worthy creation! A braided perimeter is easy to make and truly makes your pie pop. Use pre-made dough and lay it out in your pan. Trim the excess and roll into a long log (at least three times as long as the perimeter of the pie). Divide the log into three equal portions and roll out into long, thin logs. Braid – as you would your hair – and set aside. After filling the shell with your blueberry filling, place the braid along the perimeter of the pie crust at the top. Press every inch or so to assure it stays in place. Once your pie bakes and the braid puffs, even you will be impressed at how lovely it looks.

Leafy Lemon (or Key Lime)
What’s more refreshing than a lemon or lime pie? The citrus flavours really burst and the scent makes your kitchen oh-so-inviting. Take that lemon or lime delight up a notch with a fancy crust that is super-simple to make. You’ll only need a leaf-shaped cookie cutter to create a luxurious crust for an already decadent pie.
After laying out your pre-made dough onto the bottom of your pan, baking and then adding your filling once it’s cooled, use your excess dough to make leaves with the cutter. Bake separately and decorate the top of the pie with the beautiful shapes. You can go all around the rim, make rows of leaves, create circular patterns – or come up with a design all your own. -
Stars and Stripes
A patriotic pie is a wonderful treat for the Fourth of July or any time of year. By cutting your own or pressing out star shapes with a cookie cutter, you can decorate the rim of your pie or scatter pie crust stars over the top of a delicious red-, white- and blue-filled pie. Go for a strawberry, raspberry and blueberry filling with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top when you serve up this shimmering pie. Simply cut the star shapes from pre-made dough scraps and after lining the pan with dough and filling, decorate the top with your stars. If you want to really go for it, cut thin stripes with dough and line across the top of the pie. Get ready for fireworks of flavour! -
