To prepare, remove the pie from its packaging and place it on a baking sheet. It is usually baked in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Some prefer to add a light egg wash to the crust before baking for extra shine. The aroma of baking apples and spices will fill your kitchen. Allow it to cool slightly before serving for the best texture, as the filling will set up as it cools.
