What type of pie can be frozen?

Many types of pies can be frozen, but some freeze better than others. Here's a breakdown:

Pies that freeze well:

* Fruit pies: Most fruit pies freeze well, whether they're made with fresh, frozen, or canned fruit. You can freeze both the unbaked pie or the baked pie.

* Cream pies: Pies with custard or cream fillings (like banana cream or pumpkin pie) can also be frozen, but they may require a little extra attention to prevent ice crystals from forming in the filling.

* Pies with a crumb crust: Crusts with a high fat content (like shortcrust or graham cracker crusts) tend to freeze well.

Pies that freeze less well:

* Pies with delicate fillings: Pies with meringue toppings or whipped cream fillings may not freeze as well. The texture of the meringue or whipped cream may change after freezing.

* Pies with wet fillings: Pies with very wet fillings (like some berry pies) may become soggy after freezing.

Tips for freezing pie:

* Wrap the pie tightly: Wrap the pie in plastic wrap, then foil to prevent freezer burn.

* Freeze unbaked pies: Freezing unbaked pies is generally easier and ensures a better texture when thawed.

* Thaw in the refrigerator: Allow the pie to thaw slowly in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

* Reheat gently: After thawing, reheat the pie in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.

Remember, every pie and freezer is different, so it's always a good idea to experiment with freezing your own pies to see what works best for you.
