Roll out one pie crust (or one half of pie crust recipe) and place in a 9-inch pie plate.
Roll out your top pie crust to a 12-inch circle and chill until ready to top the pie.
Fill your pie with your desired pie filling.
Remove the rolled out top crust from the refrigerator.
Use various cookie cutters in desired shapes to plan out your design: use mini letter/number cutters to spell a message or create a "lattice" using rows of cuts using fondant cutters. Discard cut pieces of pie dough.
Place top crust on the pie and crimp edges as desired. Brush with egg wash and bake according to pie recipe directions.

Baking time will be dependent on the recipe you're making. Always follow the filling recipe of the recipe. This is just a method for creating a decorated pie crust.
