No, frozen fruit needs to be thawed completely and drained before adding to a pie. Putting frozen fruit directly into a pie would alter the baking time drastically, and the juice from the defrosting fruit would make the pie filling very runny.
Yes, fruit pies can be frozen either before or after baking.
No, you never ever do. It is dangerous.
You can bake a pie either way. Using a baking sheet may make it easier to remove the hot pie from the oven, and if you're baking a fruit pie, the sheet will catch any droppings if the pie filling boils over the top of the pie.
The amount it would require to thaw would depend on the temperature the pie was frozen. Most frozen fruit pies can be baked from their frozen state.
Cooking apples before baking them in a pie is up to the cook. It can be done either way. Cooking or sauteing the apples before baking will make a softer apple filling. The apples will be crunchier if they are not cooked or sauteed before baking.
none. the gooeyness is caused by the mixture of butter and fruit juice that is the result of baking fruit. yay.
You will use a pre-baked pie crust when you are making a cream pie, when filling the pie crust with fresh fruit, or anything that does not require baking.
No
Yes, an unbaked pie crust can be refrigerated, covered airtight. However, it does not need to be refrigerated before baking. A 15 - 20 minute rest at room temperature is sufficient to allow the dough to relax before baking. If it is not allowed to rest, the crust might shrink up while baking, distorting the pie.
Basically this is a trick question, the type of dish best suited for a fruit pie varies on the and type of fruit pie being baked. Obviously one would not use a 15" pan for a 13" pie.
There is more when it is made with fresh fruit, not that frozen junk!
Sure! Be careful to sweeten it correctly, as cherries are rarely sweet enough on their own for pies. Treat as you would any berry.
