Apple Pie Slice with Lattice Crust
A slice of apple pie with a lattice crust and apple pieces in the filling.
The picture shows a large slice of apple pie from the side. On top lies a lattice of crossed pastry strips, which marks it out as a classic covered apple pie. The edge is baked in a wavy shape, and in the open cut at the bottom you can see several round pieces of apple that make up the filling.
What can you see?
The triangular slice stands on its wide base. The pastry strips cross into diamonds, and the filling peeks through between them. The top edge is drawn in soft waves, like a crisp crust. The lattice pattern and the many apple pieces bring some finer areas into the picture.
Ideas for coloring
- Make the pastry strips golden brown and the apple filling lighter.
- Color each apple piece in a slightly different shade.
- Set off the crust at the edge a little darker.
- Use thin pens for the fine diamonds.
Who is this page for?
Because of the lattice and the many small areas, the picture suits children from around six years old. Apple pie is baked from pastry and sliced apples; the lattice on top is made by laying pastry strips crosswise. It often tastes of cinnamon and is eaten warm with a little cream. Think about which kind of apple is in your pie, and color the pieces to match. At home you can bake apple pie together and peel and slice the apples along the way. It suits a cosy afternoon with tea or cocoa.
