Freezing before or after may depend on the type of pie. Some are only at their best when fresh such as pumpkin or chocolate cream. Apple can be frozen before or after. Increase the baking time if baking straight from the freezer. Should you decide to defrost first, do so in the refrigerator. Additional baking time may be in order in this case, too. You may bake pecan pie and then freeze. Allow to defrost in the refrigerator and allow to come to room temp before serving. 15 minutes in a preheated oven can't hurt either! I know we are always trying to save on time, but fresh is best! Elisabeth@KAF
