Kitchen Gadget: Pocket Pie Mold

Okay, so I am not usually a sucker for kitchen gadgets, but this one looked so awesome that I just had to try it out. It's a lattice pocket pie mold from Williams and Sonoma and retails for about 10 dollars. I cheated a little bit and bought pre-made pie dough, but it makes life so much simpler and we got the eat the pies that much quicker.

You simply use each side pictured above, and cut out two pieces of each side from the dough. One crust will give you two pies. Then turn the gadget over and place the non-lattice side on the bottom, fill with your favorite canned pie filling, and put the lattice piece on top. How easy is that!

It's kind of ironic that I bought this because I am not a huge pie fan, but I think this will make a spectacular dessert presentation the next time we have company. I'm picturing apple pie filling with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. What time can you be here?!
