17

Brush the strips with the egg wash water mix and lay the remaining strips of dough at a 45 degree angle over the first strips to create a lattice top

19

Place the pie dish on a cookie sheet and put the cookie sheet and pie dish setup into the oven on a shelf set in the middle of the oven

Bake for 45 minutes, turning the whole setup once so that the pie bakes evenly
