I read how to do it, but couldn’t make sense if it. Then I watched this and got it immediately. I guess I’m a visual learner. Thanks!

[SNAPOUTOFIT]

Wow! The only time I ever tried this I ended up giving up and doing a traditional top crust. I knew there had to be an easier way. Thank you so much!

[lisamboes]

Tucking under the strips -- nice trick! Thanks for the video.

[moaraa]

Great help! Straight forward instructions. Thank you.

[marypower]

First lattice crust and it looks sensational thanks to you!

[semco]

I appreciate you all showing us that tip and I have to save this video so I can view it again when I make a pie.

[hollym]

The day I made my first lattice crust was a great day. Seriously.

You might have added a short bit explaining how you made the top brown that way!

A fantastic instructional video. May I have your permission to use your video on my website?

[HelbaWavemaster]

Anyone know what the white parts of the pie filling are? Cubed butter?

[justinskiftenes]

Overall a very helpful and informative video. That said, when he’s cutting the strips there are 9 strips (assuming that 2 outside strips are indeed discarded). The final lattice has 10.

Ha.. I think ATK is no longer obsessed with Vermont, aka. USA.!! Welcome Joe!!

[Fifenfurter]

Maybe just instruct how many lattice pieces to have from the start. Otherwise, a simple, straight tutorial.

[napoleonsmith]

how do you make the dough. seems to me you need to tell how to make a complete recipe. where is chris? i hope he is well, you need him back.

[lyndamichler]

that looked great. I am afraid of making pies...never had one turn out the way it should. But that does not mean I cannot appreciate one.

[FrankWithanF]

The multiple camera angles at the same time as he's weaving the pie is something this channel has that other YouTube cooking channels usually don't.

Turn off the annoying music. It makes it difficult to hear the voice-over.
