Apple * Dutch Apple * Cherry * Peach * Strawberry Rhubarb * Blueberry * Blackberry * Black Raspberry
Keep pie frozen until ready to bake.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees (gas), 390 degrees (electric), or 350 degrees (convection). It is critical to have a hot oven.
Remove plastic packaging. Leave pie in its aluminum tin and place it on a baking sheet to catch boil over and assist in baking.
Brush top crust of pie with egg or milk wash for better browning; sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Do not brush crimped edges.
Use a sharp knife to cut 4 one-inch slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake 55-65 minutes in gas or electric oven (45-55 in convection oven).
Check pie edges after the first 35-40 minutes. If it is browning too quickly, cover edges with foil or a crust shield. Continue baking.
At 50 minutes, check pie every 5 minutes. When crust is golden brown, and filling starts to bubble in the center, pie is done. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 4 hours before slicing. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
