Instructions

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll half of All-Butter Piecrust into a 12-inch circle (about 1⁄8 inch thick). Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, gently pressing dough into bottom and up sides of plate. Trim excess dough to 1⁄2 inch beyond edge of plate. Spread pie filling into prepared crust.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll remaining All-Butter Piecrust into a 12-inch circle (about 1/8 inch thick). Using a small decorative cutter, cut out shapes in center of dough; reserve cutout pieces of dough. Carefully place dough on filling, centering area with cutouts. Trim excess dough to 1⁄2 inch beyond edge of plate. Gently press edges of dough together; fold edges under, and crimp as desired. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Position oven rack in bottom third of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water. Using a pastry brush, brush egg wash onto crust. Place reserved cutout dough pieces on crust as desired, gently pressing to adhere. Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top.
  • Bake until crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes, covering edges with foil during final 15 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Serve with Crème Anglaise. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
