If you like, bake up a few extras to scatter on top of your pie as decoration. Just be mindful to keep an eye on the crust to make sure it isn’t browning too quickly.

Best of all, even though these look crazy difficult, most of them are actually pretty doable. So grab your rolling pin and plenty of flour, because it’s time to get crafty and whip up some pretty pie designs. Carefully place the pie crust with the cut-outs on top of your filled pie shell and crimp the edges together.

Just grab a fork, dip it in flour, and press the tines into the border of the crust. You want the crust to cover the base and sides of the plate, with a little excess hanging over the edges, about 1/2 inch. As far as thickness, aim for a crust that's about 1/8 inch thick all over to ensure it's nice and sturdy and bakes evenly.

How to Make Beautiful Pie Crust Designs

For this technique, roll out your top pastry as normal, then using a medium or small cookie cutter, cut out select parts of the crust. Be sure not to place these cutouts too close together. To attach the shapes to the pie crust, brush the bottom of each with water and press to the edge of the crust.

See the recipe card below for detailed written instructions. Cut out leaves—the number you’ll get will depend on the size of your cookie cutter. Carefully arrange the leaves, overlapping, on top of the pie. Finish by brushing with egg wash and sprinkling with coarse sugar.

Use a small cookie cutter to form a chic decorative edge. We used a leaf cookie cutter for our fall pie, but you can use any cookie cutter you want as long as it’s 1–2” (2.5–5 cm) in size. My go-to berry pie recipe - a rye flour crust and mixed berry filling seasoned with fresh thyme leaves. While vintage sweaters might not exactly be your style, This unique pie crust design uses a knit sweater theme to make the most stunning pie crust ever. The result is an amazing textured pie crust design that screams fall.

It’s a great thing, this combo love of leaves and pie. To fully bake the pie crust, simple follow the Fully baked pie crust directions in the recipe card below. There’s loads of ways to decorate a pie crust edge. You can achieve a nice crosshatching pattern on your pie with another easy imprinting technique. Just score small “X” shapes around the pie crust edge with a fork, knife, or cake tester. You’ll be left with some beautiful crosshatching, which will add a nice vintage vibe to your pie.

To paint on a pie crust, top the pie as you normally would with a double crust. Go ahead and paint directly onto the top crust, or onto the cut-out shapes. If you’re using cut outs, make sure to dab some egg wash on the back, so the cutouts will stick where you place them.

Simply brush the crust with water before sprinkling the sugar. You can use coarse sanding sugar or turbinado sugar for a more distinct crunch, or traditional granulated sugar for a pretty finish. You can also do the reverse of this method for double-crusted pies.

Lay them straight across, along the outer edge or incorporate into the lattice design. A simple strips design enhances pie crusts with a charming, artistic appearance. It features a lattice pattern weaving strips of dough over filling, revealing the sweet contents. Pink flower-shaped cutouts add elegance and floral beauty.

A heartfelt treat for sharing moments with loved ones. Every candy-cane lover’s dream holiday no-bake pie, with a hearty serving of crushed peppermint. Wild Berry Harmony Pie showcases nature’s bounty with a captivating crust and filling of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. You don’t need to stop decorating your pie with just the crust. You can add a few more finishing touches to give your pie a professional look. Then lay the crust on top and crimp and finish as you see fit.
