A few years ago, after canning lots and lots of peaches, I decided rather than canning additional jars of peaches I would make up pie filling ahead and freeze, similar to your idea but not as complete. I made my pie filling as usual, lined a pie pan with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer. After it had frozen solid,removed it and placed it in a freezer bag. I made about 4-5 of these frozen pie fillings. It was a lot of fun to have a fresh peach pie in the middle of winter! Although, that idea is not too far from the same thinking that you had above. I didn't have to thaw the filling before use, it dropped right into a fresh made pie crust. I do like your idea of making the entire pie and freezing!! I will be keeping that in mind next summer as all the fruit comes into season!! Thanks for all of your most wonderful and helpful tips and ideas!!! You're the BEST!!!!
