Can I Make a pie today then leave it in the fridge till tomorrow and then cook it as normal?

Question

Prathima · Answer

You can assemble the entire pie, wrap it well, then freeze it unbaked. You'll want to bake it straight from the freezer to avoid soggy crust, but you will likely have to increase the bake time by about 20%.

Nancy · Answer

If you do that, the crust will be soggy. If you need to prepare some in advance, make and keep separate a bottom crust and the filling. Combine just before you plan to bake, adding then - if ýou like - a top crust.

Susan N. · Answer

You can make the pie dough and roll it out onto the pie pan, then cover and refrigerate. Make the filling and leave separate and refrigerate. On the day you want to bake it, assemble, then bake. I think if you were to assemble completely and refrigerate, the filling would make the pie crust too soggy.
