Question
If I make my pie dough and freeze it in the required sizes can I then thaw, make the apple pie and then refreeze the pie without cooking it first?
Carolyn:
Yes, you can do that, but unless you are freezing it in a pie pan or placing it in a rigid container, you would be better off leaving it in a flattened ball and then rolling it out when you make your pie. Otherwise it will most likely break in the freezer.

| Comment | Thank you very much for responding so quickly!! Our community is attempting a 'Pie Day' fundraiser. We are hoping to have at least 100 pies ordered and wanted to keep up to the dough required as the orders come in. Then we only have to thaw and roll out and fill and package on the big day. Thanks again, Carolyn and the ladies from Penniac | ||

Expertise
I can answer any questions about baking. The only thing I'm not too good at is baking pies, nor do I know much about high altitude baking.
Experience
I have been baking for over 30 years. One of my hobbies is creating recipes, most of those for baked goods. I made my own wedding cake. Currently I prefer to bake healthier things. I use a lot of whole wheat and other whole grain flours, and prefer to use less sugar or sugar substitutes in my baking. I do a lot with fruit.
