I don’t typically bake that many pies throughout the year but I think there’s some unspoken law that says when the holidays roll around at least one or two pies are mandatory.
HAHA! That is sooo true. I rarely ever make pie, but have to make at least one for Thanksgiving.
This looks so lovely. I've always enjoyed the sugar sparkle/crunch on top of a lattice pie... but haven't attempted it myself. I bet some turbinado sugar would be fantastic on there! Hubby is not a fan of tart/sour things, but I'm sure he'd be on board with craisins. Also, I bet pre-cooking the filling would cut down on the excess juices, and allow the bottom crust to stay crisp. Plus, you wouldn't have to worry about it cooking down and having a big hollow gap under the top crust. (I'm looking at you, mom. lol)
As always, fantastic commenting by @offbeatbroad. I am thrilled you found some helpful tips in my post. I look forward to seeing some of your future creations. So sorry it took me 6 days to get back to you, I've been so busy!
