Can it be made ahead of time, earlier in the day or the night before?

I've made it several times.... It's really great. If you want to prep it ahead, make the filling and the crust separately, but don't put it together til you're ready to bake it. Enjoy! It's a great recipe.

I think you could make the whole thing but not including the egg wash step and then freeze it. when you want to finish it just bake from frozen. Or make the filling and the crust and stash separately in the fridge for a day or two. roll out crust and assemble just before baking. I don't think i'd assemble it and then refridgerate for any length of time.
