Quick answer
Bake the Ready to Bake Grandé Apple Pie from frozen for a warm, homemade dessert. Follow these steps for a golden crust and perfect filling.
Why bake from frozen?
The Ready to Bake Apple Pie is designed to go straight from the freezer to the oven. This ensures the crust stays flaky and the filling doesn't get soggy. Thawing first can lead to a mushy bottom crust.
Choosing the right pan
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and promote even browning. A rimmed baking sheet works best, but a flat cookie sheet will also do.
How to bake and serve the Ready to Bake Apple Pie
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let it fully preheat before putting the pie in. An oven that hasn't reached temperature will cause uneven baking.
- Prepare the pie: Remove the pie from the box and plastic wrap. Do not thaw. Place it on a baking sheet to catch any overflow. Baking from frozen is key to a flaky crust.
- Bake the pie: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Rotate the pan halfway through for even browning. Ovens vary; start checking at 50 minutes.
- Cool before slicing: Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. This allows the filling to set so slices hold their shape. Serving too early leads to runny filling.
- Serve and store: Slice with a sharp knife. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat slices in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispness.
