Marie’s Baking Tips:

· To loosen frozen shell from pan, gently run hot water from faucet on bottom of pan or insert knife between pan and frozen pie shell, gently rock back and forth until loose.

· If pie shell has cracked: thaw shell, moisten fingertips with water and press shell together at crack.

· When sealing top and bottom shells press together with a fork to create a design.

· If edges of pie begin to brown excessively, cover edges with a strip of aluminum foil and continue baking.

· Serve pie with a dollop of Reddi-wip ®.

· Keep frozen; do not thaw.

· Ovens may vary. Adjust cooking times as needed.

· Pie shells must be cooked thoroughly. Read and follow these cooking directions.
