Apple Peach Pie
This fabulous recipe freezes very well unbaked. Wrap it, label it, and store it in the freezer up to 3 months. To bake, unwrap the frozen pie and place it on a cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 400 degrees F oven for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for 70-80 minutes until the filling bubbles in the center and the pie crust is golden brown. If the pie gets too brown, simply place a layer of foil over it and continue baking. - Frozen Pumpkin Pie
This is a spectacular pie, with a spicy pumpkin pie filling folded together with butter pecan ice cream and whipped topping. Let it stand on the counter for 20-30 minutes before serving so it's easier to cut. - French Apple Pie
Freeze this pie unbaked for best results. Wrap it well in freezer wrap, then label and freeze. To thaw and bake, place frozen pie on a cookie sheet. Cover loosely with foil and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake 35-40 minutes longer until the pie crust and topping are golden and the apples are tender. Let cool and serve. - Black and White Brownie Pie
A brownie in a pie crust! Cool this pie completely after baking, wrap it well in freezer wrap, label, and freeze up to 3 months. To thaw and serve, let the pie sit on the kitchen counter for 2-3 hours until thawed. Drizzle with melted white chocolate before serving. - Chocolate Lemon Ice Cream Pie
This beautiful five ingredient pie is something special. Inspiration came from one of Sees' candies; a lemon and chocolate confection my nephew Michael and I just love. - Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
Vanilla ice cream and peanut butter are blended together to make peanut butter ice cream! I love the combination of flavors and textures in this easy pie. As always, let it stand at room temperature for about half an hour before slicing and serving. - Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
This delicious pie is like a chocolate chip cookie in a pie crust. To freeze, let the pie cool completely, then wrap well, label, and freeze. Thaw pie in refrigerator overnight. - White Chocolate Cream Pie
