You can reduce (actually close to eliminate) the chance of that "previously frozen" taste, which I just call "freezer taste." Once your pie is frozen, wrap it in waxed paper. Then wrap it in at least two sheets of newspaper, and then bag it. For bagging, I use the liners from cereal boxes, as that plastic is much stronger than most storage bags. With the tougher plastic bagging and the protection of newspaper, your pie can be frozen for an entire year without taking on that freezer taste. I usually eat my last apple pie about a month before my Transparents are ready for picking, so I'm never out of apple pie!
