Works for me Wednesday

Today is Works for me Wednesday. My tip for the day is the way I keep the edges of my pie from getting too dark. When I was first married, I would take strips of foil and put them around the edge of the pie. It was hard to get them in place without messing up the pie edge and they would fall off when I tried to get the pie in the oven. One day I thought it would work better it the foil was in one piece. Here is what I did and have done ever since.

Use a square piece of foil, that is big enough to cover the whole pie. Fold in half, then in half again to form a smaller square.

Now - cut the corner out of the square, in the shape of a quarter circle.

Open the remaining piece of foil and place over the edges of the pie.

Remove foil for the last 15 minutes of baking time. Your pie will be browned, but not too dark!

That's my tip for the day. If you want to see more ideas, visit Shannon at Rocks in my Dryer.
