    Beautiful! As someone who didn't grow up baking and eating pies, does anyone have suggestions on pie crusts? The crust in the pan isn't the problem (I think XD), but I always struggle with the top crust. Needless to say, mine never ever look as beautiful as any of these.

    This is beautiful. The only problem is that you won't get a lot of pie crust on each slice when eating. Eating the flaky golden pie crust is one of the best parts of eating pie.

    I imagine the creator had to be pretty fast to avoid ending up with mutated or tough pieces. Still a lot of time, but even more impressive to think how fast she must have to put everything together.
