Recognizing a lattice crust means identifying the top crust that uses strips of pastry laid in a criss-cross pattern. This method creates a decorative, woven look and lets some filling show through as the pie bakes. Crumb crust is a bottom crust made from crushed cookies or crumbs pressed with butter, not strips. The terms baked pies and unbaked pies describe the pie’s readiness or method, not the top crust style.
