Method

- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Roll out the first disc of pie crust and line a 20-23cm pie dish with it. Trim the edges.
- Roll out the second disc of pie crust and cut out the design (you can use cookie cutters, or you can make stripes with a knife).
- Fill the pie crust with a filling, dot with butter and decorate the top with the rest of the dough.
- Whisk the egg with 1 tbsp water and brush the top of the pie with it. Sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let it cool before cutting.
