Instructions
Heat oven to 400°F.
Fit pie pan with pie crust cut to size. Cut the remaining crust with cookie cutters into the shape(s) of your choice. Place crust and “cookies” into the freezer to chill.
In large bowl, mix filling ingredients. Spoon into crust. Place crust “cookies” around the outside edge of the pie, taking care keep edges inside pan edge.
Beat egg with water to create an egg wash. Brush onto crust “cookies” then sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake on cookie sheet about 45 minutes or until crust is golden and juice is thick and bubbly. If crust is getting too brown (mine was), set a piece of foil on top. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours.
Notes
This will make one 6 inch pie. Based on the fact that I cut down a standard pie to 1/3, it should work to triple the ingredients for a 9-inch pie.
