It is SO much easier to make a crumb topping! It is two or three, less things to do.
While a lattice topped pie looks impressive and is great to offer guests at a dinner party, it does take longer to create.
If you make a crumb top pie, you don't need to roll out the pastry after kneading it and then carefully cut it into strips and create the basket weave appearance which looks so attractive on top of the pie.
With a crumb top pie, you just spoon the crumbed pastry mix on top of the pie filling and bake. You can add a little sugar to a topping for a sweet pie, or salt and pepper if it's a savory one. I have provided some links below for you to sites with recipes for pie crusts.
