7. 7

   Remove one half of the dough from refrigerator. Roll it out to about a 10-inch circle as best you can. Use a little flour if dough is too sticky. Work the dough as little as possible. Place the circle into a 9-inch pie dish. Press to the sides and trim off any excess. Remove the other half of your dough from the fridge and repeat. Roll it out to make another circle. With a pizza or pastry cutter, cut pieces of dough 1-inch wide, you'll need 6 of them for a nice lattice top. Pour fruit mixture into prepared pie dish. Alternate strips of dough to create a lattice top. Trim off excess. Brush the top of crust with milk.
