Freezing Fruit Pies
Q: Can I freeze my unbaked apple pie and for how
long? I have an apple tree in the backyard and I would like to
get some use of the apples. Thanks
A: Yes, you can freeze unbaked as well as baked fruit
pies.
Method for Freezing Unbaked
Pies:
Prepare the pie according to
recipe directions - however, before filling the pie crust, brush
it with lightly beaten egg white to prevent the crust from becoming
soggy. Add filling, then cover entire pie with an upside-down
aluminum pie plate. Wrap tightly in plastic or foil, label with
the date, and freeze. Unbaked pies can be kept frozen for up
to three months.
To bake a frozen, unbaked fruit
pie, remove the wrapping and bake in a 425°F (220°C)
oven for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 375°F (190°C)
and cook for another 45 minutes or until done.
Method for Freezing Baked
Pies:
Cool baked pie completely then
wrap tightly and freeze for up to four months. (Be sure to label
it with the date.)
To use a frozen, baked fruit
pie, thaw uncovered at room temperature. If you like, you can
reheat a thawed pie in the oven, by baking it uncovered
at 325° F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it's warmed through.
