I like this topic. Not many talk about how to freeze homemade fruit pies. What happens if you fill your unbaked crust with pre-cook fruit filling and then freeze it and bake directly from freezer? Or try this one. Bake pie in oven directly from freezer for 15 minutes to set the crust then put in microwave for 15 mins. to thaw filling and then complete in oven again? Has anyone tried this or thought of it? Thanks, The cute Pie Guy Of the two options you mention, you're much better off with the first; I wouldn't microwave a pie, especially for 15 minutes. Even if the crust is mostly cooked, the microwave will boil what water is left in it, and the crust is going to be tough. You also want to make sure whatever pie plate you're using can hold up to the thermal shock of going directly from the freezer to a hot oven. Susan @ KAF.
