Can You Use a Premade Pie Crust for Making This Delicious Sweet Potato Pie?
Yes, you can use it, and it is the most convenient way as you can save a lot of time that is required to knead the dough and make a pie crust out of it. As you are aware that premade pie crusts are frozen, you need to thaw them completely before making a pie with them. Without defrosting them, you can never shape a pie out of them, and it can break as well. Please keep it in the refrigerator instead of the freezer to thaw it.
Experts’ Suggestion
Always make this pie using an air fryer. It is hard to handle the process in an oven, and the pie will remain undercooked, or the crust will be burned.
You can serve it after scooping some ice cream over it or drizzling it with syrup. Whipped Cream will also be a great topping over it.
