That is a great question... I know tha...Hi Sandy! That is a great question... I know that you can absolutely make the pie dough ahead, and even fill the pie plate and have all the leaves cut out ahead (just be sure to cover with wrap so that the dough does not pick up freezer flavors or get dried out...) You can pre-measure the sugar and thickener... But as far as freezing the whole unbaked apple pie, I am not sure... I worry that the apples might get spongy after being frozen...and the bake time would be significantly longer...therefore affecting the pie crust... My best advice for working ahead is do all the parts of the pie ahead of time, like making the dough and freezing the leaf- shapes... Pies are best when made a day ahead and allowed to cool fully... So make your apple pie the afternoon or evening before Thanksgiving, but make it with fresh cut apples and cranberries. I think the final product with be beautiful and there won't be any unknowns from having frozen it... That's my best advice--since I have not tested freezing a whole pie... If you really want a make-ahead dessert-- my spiced pumpkin cake is super easy and can be in the fridge for up to two days chilling...while you work on other holiday matters... It's a great cake--so easy and a big winner. All the best in your holiday baking efforts!! Happy Thanksgiving!!

I think the key to a great apple pie is using fresh apples that smell and taste like "apple"...I also like to mix apple varieties to create a depth of apple flavor. I'm not sure if your apples are good for baking...some are and some are better for eating or for apple sauce-depending on how they break down when heated... but It's probably worth a try to find out!! You could add brown sugar if you wished, I would simply cut back on the amount of granulated sugar in that case--so you don't end up with too much sugar and an overly sweet pie... Best of luck with your pie!!Blue Ribbon Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872562248737665838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745214440611064310.post-38149479991716037472016-10-25T11:50:57.649-07:002016-10-25T11:50:57.649-07:00and also could i add some brown sugar too? and also could i add some brown sugar too?

They sell them seasonally to match the holidays... right now you might be able to get a fall/autumn set on sale since Turkey Day is now over. I've purchased a set or two from ebay as well...(retired sets) You can find pie crust cutters in the baking sections sometimes of Joann's, Michael's and even once I saw some at WalMart.... the cutters worked fine..the William-Sonoma ones seem to be a little higher quality...and they do coast a little more...but my "off brands" worked too!! I hope you get a set!! <br /> Thanks for writing, KarriBlue Ribbon Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872562248737665838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745214440611064310.post-62791628183029301312015-11-26T18:30:54.592-08:002015-11-26T18:30:54.592-08:00Thank you for sharing this recipe.
