Add a special touch to the top of your two-crust fruit pie by using one of these techniques before baking:
- For a shiny crust, brush crust with milk.
- For a sugary crust, moisten crust with water, then sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- For a glazed crust, brush crust lightly with a beaten egg or an egg yolk mixed with a little water.
These pie crusts may brown more quickly than those without a special top treatment. If this happens, place a sheet of aluminum foil loosely on top of hte pie to slow the browning.
After baking, glaze a two-crust pie with a mixture of 1/2 cup powedered sugar, 2 to 3 teaspoons milk, orange juice or lemon juice and, if desired, 2 teaspoons grated orange peel or lemon peel. Don't let the glaze run over the edge of the pie.
