Turn Your Pies Into Works of Art with These Easy Floral Crust Tutorials

Happy Pi Day!  In honor of one of my favorite nerd holidays (and my two-year wedding anniversary), I’m wrangling together my three decorative pie crust tutorials in one post for easy access.

The tutorials below work great for any two-crust pie.  All of these decorations will turn out just fine with store-bought pie crust, but here’s my favorite sweet pie crust recipe if you’d like to step it up a bit.  For savory pie, try this recipe.  If you need a pie recipe, I’ve got you covered.  Without further ado, let’s make some pie!

Add a Leaf Border

A leaf border is a simple way to dress up the edge of your pie crust and hide any ugly, ragged edges of your bottom crust.  You can make your leaves using a leaf-shaped cookie cutter, or you can get creative with a circle-shaped cutter, a glass, or any round object and a knife.  See the full tutorial right here.
