Marianne, sounds like you have this apple pie thing nailed! Thanks for sharing — especially the tip about sprinkling tapioca into the bottom of the crust before adding the filling. Very smart. I'd never made a lattice before writing this blog post, but found it wasn't as complicated as I thought, and it came out very well. You might want to give it a try sometime — in fact, you could do a lattice across the pie, then add your cutouts around the edge. Enjoy — PJH
