Pretty Pie Crusts II

After you have placed the top crust on your two crust pie try this hint for a fun way to decorate it.

Crack an egg and separate the yolk from the white into 2 small bowls. Mix lightly with a fork.

Find a cute cookie cutter and cut press gently into the crust but do not remove the pieces.

Using a food safe paint brush, lightly brush the inside of each cutout with the yold and the remaining pie with the egg whites.

Now just bake as normal and you will have a beautfully colored top.

If you want to get even fancier, add a drop of food color into the white and the coloring will have a stained glass effect when it is baked.
