I rolled out crusts for 2 pumpkin pies. I covered them with plastic wrap, folded in half, covered with wrap, folded again an covered again with wrap. I put a piece of wrap on top and gently transferred them to a foil covered piece of cardboard. Wrapped them in plastic wrap and then heavy duty foil. How long should I defrost these (day before Thanksgiving) so not to ruin them? And I have always put crusts for pumpkin pies in the refrigerator for several hours before adding filling and baking. Will this still work? I can no longer stand all day baking pies, etc., the day before Thanksgiving. I will still need to do a 10" by 15" apple slices that day and..... Thank you.
