To prepare, remove the pie from its packaging. If you prefer a crispier crust, you can bake it directly from frozen. Follow the instructions on the packaging for specific baking times and temperatures, as these can vary. Typically, it involves baking until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
