To prepare, remove the pie from its freezer packaging. You will typically bake it directly from a frozen state, following the instructions on the product packaging. This usually involves placing the pie on a baking sheet and baking it in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set and slightly puffed. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
