This sounds really good and easy. Do you think you could leave out the egg and it still be ok?

Sday, it's always been my understanding that the egg wash used with pies makes the crust a nice, shiny brown color, so I think you could safely leave it out, as long as you watch the pie closely, to make sure it doesn't burn. It might also be possible to use egg substitute instead, but I'd read the package directions to see if they suggest that. I won't use egg substitute, so I can't say what it can be used for.
