This isn't a tip for freezing whole pies, but for shortening (slightly) the baking time for apple pies. My friend taught me to microwave on high for 10 minutes double crust apple pies, then bake for about 30 minutes at 375, or until the crust is golden brown. The fruit softens nicely, and the crust retains flakiness, which you would not expect. Weird! (use a glass pan, of course) Sarah, I'll definitely give that a try sometime. Weirder things have been known to work - quite unexpectedly! Thanks for sharing - PJH
