  1. Thaw pie shells according to package instructions. Remove first pie shell from foil plate and set aside. Reserve foil plate. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  5. Arrange the warm apple mixture on top of the pie shell in the pan. Remove second pie shell from foil plate and with the bottom of the shell facing upwards; place on top of apple mixture. Press edges to seal and flute. Transfer pie to a baking tray and cut slits in the top pie shell to allow steam to escape.
