Notes

Lattice Pattern: cut one pie crust into eight strips. Lay the first one down on  one edge of the skillet. Lay another atop that one going the opposite direction. Repeat the up and down pattern, interlacing the pie crust strips to create a basket or lattice pattern.

If not doing a lattice pattern, place 4 small decorative slits in the center of the top crust for venting.
