I have a quick question regarding the freezing process of apple pies. I made a Dutch Apple pie for a party, and since then have gotten a number of requests to make them for friends. I'd prefer to pre-make and freeze, so they can be baked at the home of the recipients. I'm wondering if a top crumb crust would freeze well (it contains cake flour, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon). In addition, we live at a high altitude, (6000 ft.) So I've learned that I have to partially cook my apple filling in order for the filling and crust to get done evenly. I understand that the freezing instructions are for unbaked filling, and am wondering if a partially cooked filling would freeze as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
