Hints from Grand: Check out our pie crust recipe — Grand’s Best Pie Crust Ever. Grand’s favorite way to seal the two pie crusts together is to just use a fork. You take your fork and press the crusts together all the way around the pie. Grand also likes to brush the top of the pie with a beaten egg white and sprinkle it with sugar; it makes for a very pretty pie.
