The Freezer Hack
Don’t want to gamble? Freeze it. Wrap the whole pie in foil, then a plastic bag. It will last for months.
Thaw it on the counter overnight. Then reheat at 350°F for ten minutes. It’s like you baked it yesterday.
Frozen pie is a magic trick. You can pull it out for surprise guests. They’ll think you’re a wizard.
