Frequently Asked Questions
How to Store and More
I've just received my Pie Peddler Pies. How do I bake them?
Pie Peddler pies are delivered to you freshly baked, which means no baking is required for you! All you need to do is cut and serve the pie.
How long do the pies last if refrigerated?
Our pies will last 2 to 3 days longer than shelf life if refrigerated.
Can these pies be reheated?
Do not try to reheat cream pies. The fruit and pecan pies can be reheated. We recommend warming them in a 200-degree oven for approximately 10 minutes. Microwave heating by the slice is possible. Do not attempt to microwave any pie using the metal pie pan.
Can the pies be frozen and for how long?
Yes. Pie Peddler Pies can be frozen for 2 to 3 months. The Pie Peddler Box is designed to withstand freezer temperature while providing maximum protection to the pie. If you freeze the pie the day it is delivered to your organization, full shelf life will be retained once you thaw the pie.
Why are the pies delivered without pressure-freeze wrapped cellophane?
Our pies are fresh baked. Sealing would crush the pie and make it sweat. We take great pride in our product and want it to be delivered to you in the most delectable condition.
I froze my pie and am taking it out of the freezer for dinner tonight. What should I do?
Take the pie out of the freezer and let it thaw to room temperature. You should allow at least 3 to 4 hours for cream and fruit pies. Allow 5 to 6 hours for a pecan pie.
How long do the pies last?
The life of the pie depends on the type and means of storage. All the pies have a shelf life without refrigeration or freezing.
Do you use fresh fruits in your fruit pies?
We never use canned fruits. All Pie Peddler fruits are flash-frozen from growers located across the United States. Once thawed, flash-frozen fruits are as fresh as the day picked.
What is the shelf life of the pies?
The shelf life of our fruit pies is 4 to 5 days. The shelf life of Cream pies is 3 to 4 days. The shelf life of our Pecan pie is 10 to 14 days.
My child is selling your pies for his elementary school. How much should he charge for the pies?
The Pie Peddler gives only a suggested selling price to organizations. The organization is free to sell the pies for whatever price they feel acceptable to their market area. You need to call the person in charge of the sale to get the price they have decided upon.
