Yes, You do, but overnight in the refrigerator, so that the pie is put into the oven right from the fridge. You still have to keep the integrity of the pie crust intact, that is the layers of the fat medium with the flour, so that the finished product is flaky. If you thaw out on a counter and allow the pie dough to warm, you risk altering the fat layer of the dough, whether it be butter or shortening, to warm and melt into the flour to produce a mealy crust. Also, by keeping it chilled, the pie crimp will stay sharp and not lose definition.
