If you have a few scraps of dough left, you can make mini lattice pies just to mix it up a little. Place the pies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown.

After the pies have cooled, place them on and around a white ceramic cake stand with gingham napkins for the guests to help themselves. Topping the pies with vanilla bean ice cream is always a good idea!
