Notes

  • Prep time is approximate. 
  • Store apple pie covered up to 2 days at room temperature (due to the fact it does not contain eggs).  It can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • To freeze:  Wrap already baked pie in a metal or ceramic pie dish, wrap tightly with double layers of plastic wrap and then heavy duty aluminum foil. Defrost on the counter for 2 hours or in the refrigerator overnight and then rewarm in a preheated 350°F/175°C for 15-20 minutes before serving.
