Freeze any fruit or custard pie. When you are ready to bake it. Preheat the oven with a metal baking tray. Then put it the frozen pie straight in the oven frozen.

just chill it.

just chill it.

You can’t chill it. The fruit filling mixed with sugar will macerate if even a slight amount of moisture is present on the fruit. The osmosis action will draw more water out of the fruit. All that liquid will cause the crust to go soggy.

With a custard filling sitting for two hours or more in the fridge will cause the crust to go soggy.

So if the pie is not going to be baked right away it needs to be frozen.

In practice it proves no problem chilling for a couple of hours.

I just made batches of blackberry and apple pie filling two weeks ago. In about 30 minutes the bowls were full of liquid. That’s just sitting in the bowl before I filled the shells.

That doesn't mean it can't be done.

I’ve been baking for 20 yrs. And in 20 years I’ve taken a lot professional professional training. And I still take training. And I’m pretty clear on the macerated fruit science.

So I’m certain if you mix sugar and fruit and there’s some moisture on the fruit, if put it in a pie shell, then put it in the refrigerator for a two or three hours, osmosis will occur, and that pie crust is going to be soggy.

If you need to preserve your unbaked pie for a few hours, you can try the following:

1. Refrigerate It: Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator. This will keep the filling and crust fresh until you’re ready to bake it. Most unbaked pies can be kept in the fridge for 2-3 hours without any issues.
2. Cool Area: If you don’t have room in the fridge, you can place the pie in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Just make sure it’s covered to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other odors.
3. Cover the Pie: If the pie has a top crust or lattice, make sure it’s well-covered to prevent the crust from becoming dry or forming a skin.

Just be sure to preheat your oven before putting the pie in so it starts baking right away. Enjoy your pie when you get the chance to bake it!

Hey! Sorry to hear about your gas running out just when you were ready to bake your pie. No worries, though! You can definitely preserve the pie for a few hours.

Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or cover it with foil, and pop it in the fridge. This will keep the dough and filling from drying out or spoiling. When you're ready to bake, just take it out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before putting it in the oven. This helps the pie bake evenly.

Good luck, and I hope your pie turns out amazing!
