Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the pie crust before baking?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked pie crust. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. It can be stored for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before filling and baking.
What can I use instead of oil in this recipe?
