To prepare, remove the pie from its packaging and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven according to the instructions on the packaging, usually until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. You can add a sprinkle of sugar on top before baking for extra crispness. It's often served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a slice of cheddar cheese for a traditional pairing.
