Abstract: A pie top cutter guide plate that is a simple and foolproof device enabling its user to produce a quality lattice pie top crust with little effort and minimum instruction. A continuing series of alternately arranged slots spaced equidistant apart on a flat plate that when placed on a piece of rolled pie dough and scored in each slot by the user with a sharp object and subsequently pulled apart from the ends perpendicular to the slots forms a lattice pie top crust. It is affordable to all, has no moving parts or sharp cutting edges, is easily cleaned and handily stored. Its basic simplicity was tailored to fit the one pie at a time maker in their own kitchen and not for the professional pie baker. However, the artistic results are professional in every aspect and will enhance the gourmet ability of the cooks in their preparation of a specialty item for the dining table.
