Because my parents always bought apples by the bushel from a nearby orchard each fall, my mother learned how to bake her wonderful apple pies and freeze them (and my Dad, who loved those pies helped by peeling apples for her!). She baked them just as usual at 425 degrees for the first 10 minutes, then reduced the temperature and baked them half the prescribed remaining time, usually 20 minutes (40 minutes total). After freezing, simply return the pie to the oven at 350 degrees and bake until warmed! They were delicious! Now that she's gone, I try to imitate how Mom made her pies!
