Recipe: How to Freeze Fruit Pies or Nut Pies (unbaked)

HOW TO FREEZE FRUIT AND NUT PIES, UNBAKED

Make pie as usual except add 1 extra tablespoon flour or tapioca or 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch to juicy fillings to prevent boiling over when pies are baking. Do not cut vents in top crust. Steam and cool light fruits before making pies. Freeze in pan. Store for up to 4 months in the freezer.

TO BAKE:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Cut vents in upper crust. Put pan on cookie sheet.

Bake without thawing at 450 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking for 20 to 30 minutes, or until top crust is brown.
