It’s confession time: This is my first ever attempt at a lattice crust for a pie. Those of you who’ve worked with both standard and gluten-free pie dough are probably laughing right now. For everyone else, conjure the mental image of me trying to figure out how on earth to create a cohesive lattice weave crust from a sticky gluten-free dough. I certainly laughed at myself plenty!
