Baking FAQs

Do I put my pie in the freezer or refrigerator when I get home?

Our fresh baked pies are best kept in a refrigerator or the kitchen counter until enjoyed. Freezing is a great option if you do not plan to eat within 5-7 days after purchase.

Do I thaw the frozen pie before baking?

Thawing is not required. Take it out of the box and remove that plastic wrap. Throw that delicious pie on a baking sheet right in the oven, follow our baking instructions and enjoy.

When do I know the pie is done?

If you have to put a time on everything in the kitchen then we suggest 65-70 minutes. If you bake it like grandma did, don’t think about taking it out until it is golden brown and bubbly.

Can I transfer my pie to a ceramic pie plate?

This is absolutely the best way to showcase the pie for a family event or potluck. It is best to transfer a pie from our tin to your plate after some refrigeration to help it hold together. We won’t tell anyone it was made in our kitchen and not yours!

Do I have to put cut air holes in the crust?

Our amazing team of bakers have already done the hard work for you.

How long can I keep my baked pies?

We have a 5 day shelf life when sold from our trusted retail partners. For the best eating experience we recommend eating within a few days after purchase. Refrigerate for longer shelf life.

Should I refrigerate the uneaten pie?

All of our baked pies can be refrigerated after purchase. This is not required but will extend the shelf life of the pie.
