I just the Guaranteed Apple Pie for the first time to freeze. Before I spooned the apple mixture into the crust there was a lot of liquid (I'd say abot 1/4 cup) in the bottom of the bowl. I added it in and froze the pie. I hope I didn't make a mistake adding in all that liquid. Hopefully the cornstarch and flour will absorb it.
I had a lot of liquid too, Suellen - it's the sugar drawing it out of the apples. You may experience some boil-over during baking, so be sure to put the pie on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Could you have drained it off? Yeah, but you would have lost the opportunity for that good juice to bathe the apples as they bake. That's my theory, anyway! :) PJH
