Additional Information
- Tip: You can also freeze a well-wrapped unbaked fruit pie for up to 4 months, with the following changes: increase the amount of flour by 1 tbsp (15 mL) and don't cut steam vents until just before baking. Bake still-frozen pie in 450°F (230°C) oven for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake for up to 60 minutes longer or until filling is thickened and crust golden brown.
