We don't need to use perfect apples in order to make an apple pie, so this is a great way to put your leftover, slightly bruised apples to good use. If I can get my hands on a bunch of apples at a reasonable price, I will usually make three or four apple pies and put them in the freezer. All I do, is put the pies together in foil pie plates and then store them in the freezer in freezer bags, UNBAKED. Whenever I want an apple pie, I pop one in the oven, right from the freezer and bake it. No one would ever guess that I didn't just whip that pie up fresh. It usually takes about an hour and a half to bake from the frozen state.
