Tips from Jenny and Maria

When working with the bottom crust, it is not always easy to get a start on peeling off the wax paper once you've inverted the rust on the pan. We've found that making a slice into the wax paper somewhere in the middle and then pulling it off towards the edge helps to keep the crust intact. If the crust rips or breaks it's pretty good about being pressed back together with your fingers, and don't worry about how it looks, it will be covered with filling and no one will ever know. Also, we usually roll out the top crust and then cut it with cookie cutters and put the cookies on top of the pie.
