As an offshoot to that approach, I make one modification. Since there
are just two of us, I bake a pie, let it cool, and cut it into serving
pieces. I then place the cut pieced on a cookie sheet, lined with
parchment, and then put the sheet in my deep freeze for a couple of hours.

When fully hardened, I put one piece each in a tilia food baggie and
seal it up. I then place the lot of baggies in the freezer for when we
want(or I just want) a slice of pie.

I let it defrost in fridge,still sealed. Crust is still crusty. And
fruit is not runny.
