  2. Lattice Crust: Cut strips of dough 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide with pastry wheel or knife. Lay lengthwise strips on top of filled pie at 1-inch intervals. Fold back alternate strips to help you weave crosswise strips over and under, placing them on the diagonal. Trim bottom crust and lattice strips even with outer rim; seal edges. Dampen edge lightly with water and place extra strip over it, covering ends of lattice. Seal, crimp edge.

 
  Tasting-Test Kitchen note: For drained canned or frozen peaches, use only 1/3 cup sugar.
