I don't understand your comment, Frank. It seems to contradict the recipe which says to defrost the frozen pie overnight in the fridge before baking. Am I reading it wrong? Thanks~ As with many things, there are different ways to get to the same end...and with freezing and baking pies, it's no different. In this blog, PJ recommends allowing the pies to thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then bake as directed. However, you can also freeze pies, then bake them directly from the freezer without thawing. If you do this, you'll want to add at least an additional 20 minutes to your baking time to account for it being frozen. Both methods will work. In the end, both ways will give you a delicious pie with less "last minute" work. ~Mel
