How difficult is it to make Boo Berry Pie:

If it looks scary or intimidating to make, I hope you'll stick with me because I'll walk you through the entire process of just how simple it is to recreate. 

Remember, it's just for fun and every pie will be different so cut yourself some slack, and then cut yourself some pie dough. You got this!

Keeping things simple!

To make things simple I've used a store-bought deep dish pie crust and a flat-rolled refrigerated crust for the easy cut out shapes.

However, if you love to make your own pie crust and you've got the time I say GO FOR IT!

Tips and tricks for making Boo Berry Pie with painted pie crust:

• First and foremost...Have fun with it!!!
• Keep your flat pie crust as cold as possible so it cuts better.
• Don't worry about perfection, if you're nervous about cutting out shapes freehand, draw your images on a sheet of paper then place them on top of your pie crust and cut around them.
• Make sure to wash your paintbrush in water before changing colors.
• For more vivid colors, paint 2 coats of color on each item.
• Add water to affix the pieces together, but you can move them around first until you're happy with their placement.
• Make it as detailed as possible, OR keep it simple with only one, or two, ghosts if desired. It's your pie and you can make it however you like.
• Place the decorated pie on a baking sheet before baking in case the filling bubbles over.
• The colors of the gel egg wash will intensify slightly during baking.
• While the pie is baking, keep an eye on it and if the outer crust looks like it's getting too brown, cover the outer pie crust with foil.
• After the pie has baked and cooled, use a detail paintbrush and the black egg wash to add the faces on the ghosts and pumpkin.

Can Boo Berry Pie be made ahead and frozen?

Yes! I've done it several times.

After the pie has baked and cooled completely, wrap it well in several layers of plastic wrap.

Freeze for up to two months.

To serve after freezing:

Thaw the unwrapped pie completely at room temperature.

To warm, place the thawed pie in a low preheated 325-degree oven for 15 minutes prior to serving.
