Lattice Top for Pies

Making the lattice top for any fruit pie is easy if you do it like this:

1. Lay four strips of dough horizontally across top of pie, fold first and third strips back on themselves, then lay another strip perpendicular to them, just off center.

2. Unfold first and third strips, fold back second and fourth strips, then lay another strip to right of first perpendicular strip.
