Pie Topping (For Store Bought Pies) image

This is a great topping for store-bought pies of any kind to bring it over the top. Try it on your homemade (pre cooked) pies too. I've never used it on a crustless pie but I suspect it would work just as well.

My mother always sprinkled on this wonderful crumb topping to dress up her two-crust fruit pies. The crumble topping not only looks pretty, it provides a crisp contrast to the soft fruit filling. I used it to top pies for my daughter's wedding reception.

Tips:

Consider the type of pie you are topping. Lattice tops are best for fruit pies, while crumb tops are better for cream pies.
Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh fruit will taste better than canned fruit, and fresh whipped cream will taste better than store-bought whipped topping.
Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make a pie topping, so feel free to try different recipes until you find one that you like.
If you are short on time, you can use a store-bought pie crust. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
Chill your pie dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will help prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
Be careful not to overwork your pie dough. Overworking will make it tough.
If you are making a lattice top, be sure to weave the strips of dough together tightly. This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out.
Bake your pie according to the recipe directions. Check the pie frequently to make sure that it is not over-baking.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can easily make a delicious pie topping for your store-bought pie. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, reach for a store-bought pie crust and get creative with your topping. You're sure to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
