To prepare, remove the pie from its freezer packaging. If desired, you can brush the crust with milk or an egg wash for a golden sheen. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow it to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set.
