My family and I have always frozen pies, either with raw crust or partially baked. It tastes just like freshly made crust, and so much better than what you buy in the store. In fact my mother, grandmother and I just made a dozen French meat pies today for the freezer. My babies had fun taste testing, and there was enough crust left for an apple pie made from the filling I canned this summer. As for brownies I have found that using the pan that bakes the brownies all cut up already and then freezing the baked brownies works best. I wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze. When I want a brownie I take it out, zap it in the microwave for 15 seconds and voila, warm brownie! I have been unable to find a good way to freeze brownie batter. Good luck!
Thanks for sharing, Lish- good advice all around. PJH
