Answers: I'm making an apple pie later today. I already have the recipe but I was wondering if anyone knew of something creative I could do. I want to do some sort of twist on a plain apple pie. Ideas?

---

I use the extra crust and cut it and put it on top of the pie using a cookie cutter

---

Melt ice cream topping and drizzle over the top before serving

Hardly unique but I like to add caramels sometimes. I also know people who add a bit of melted cheddar cheese around the edge.
