Thanks for asking, Lynn. Leaves, squares, or other pie crust cut-outs shouldn't brown any faster than the rest of the pie if it's rolled to the same thickness. Also, be sure to have a light hand with the egg wash when brushing those delicate add-ons so prevent them from browning too quickly. We recommend checking on your pie for doneness early and often; if you notice the crust is darkening too quickly, cover it with foil or a pie crust shield to prevent it from burning.As for your question about where to find the pop-out cutters, we have some fall-themed cutters on our website here (which includes a maple leaf), or you might be able to find a full set of leaf cutters from other online retailers. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
