- Can I use a homemade pie crust instead of a store-bought one?
Yes, you absolutely can! If you’re up for it, a homemade pie crust will work perfectly. Just roll it out, fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, and proceed with the recipe as usual. It adds a personal touch and can be just as easy! - Do I need to thaw the frozen pie crust before using it?
No need to thaw! You can fill the frozen pie crust directly. This makes for a quicker and hassle-free baking experience. - Can I make the pie ahead of time?

Store any leftover pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. If you want it to last longer, keep it in the fridge, and it’ll stay good for about a week. - Can I freeze the pie for future enjoyment?
