Secret Tip
There are several ways to decorate the edge of the pie shell. You can twist a length of pastry, then press it around the pie edge to attach to the shell. You can leave 1/2 inch of pastry overhanging, then pinch it every 1/2 inch for a scalloped effect. Or you can press the edge of the shell with the tines of a fork to create a pattern of lines.
