BAKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Conventional Oven:
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Remove plastic shrink wrap from the pie.
2. Thaw pie for 5 - 7 minutes at room temperature; using a fork gently vent the top of the pastry crust 4 - 5 times.
3. Place the pie on a cookie sheet in the center of the oven. Always bake the pie from a frozen state. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. To ensure quality please check the internal temperature of the pie with a food thermometer - desired internal temperature is 165 F. Remove the pie from the oven and let cool before slicing and serving. ENJOY!!
Baking Tips:
1. Check the pie after 45 minutes. If necessary, cover edges of the crust with aluminum foil to avoid excess browning. Do not cover the center of the pie.
2. For a beautiful golden flakey crust appearance, brush on a beaten egg before baking - avoid brushing the edges of the pie with egg.
