To prepare, remove the pie from its freezer packaging. It is typically baked directly from a frozen state. You will need to preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, usually around 375°F (190°C). Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips. Bake for the recommended time, often 45-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allowing it to cool slightly before serving is recommended.
