Make Ahead Apple Pie – The Rest of the Story

The Make Now Bake Later apple pie fillings worked great! I baked one for Thanksgiving, and it disappeared in two days. I used one-half package of  Trader Joe’s frozen pie crust to line a pan, slipped in the still frozen pie filling, and topped it with a crumb mixture. I even had enough dough from trimming the crust to roll and cut a decorative leaf.

I popped the maple leaf into the toaster oven at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes and laid it on top of the pie when the pie was done. The crumb topping was a simple mixture of  1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup suger, 4 tablespoons butter, and a pinch of cinnamon.
