To prepare, remove the plastic film from the pie. If using an oven, place the pie on a baking sheet and bake at the temperature and time specified on the packaging until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. For microwave preparation, follow the instructions on the packaging, which usually involves heating on high power for a few minutes. Allow the pie to stand for a short period after heating before consuming to ensure even temperature distribution.
