ADD A LITTLE SOMETING EXTRA TO YOUR PIES – Most pie recipes call for the same plain piecrust – BORING! Instead, create your own variation by adding spices to your dough such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or even ginger. Another great idea is to add ground nuts or even cookie crumbs on top of the bottom crust before adding your filling. Be sure to press them down a little though so they stay as part of the crust.
