Sara Lee Cherry Pie

Tweet

The Sara Lee frozen pie is not bad as such things go. But they need to supply better instructions for the tip they give for when you are baking it. The backing time is given as 60-65 mins. and the tip is that you should check it at 45 mins. and if need be cover the just the edges with aluminum foil to keep them from getting too brown. Well that is nice and all but I want to know is just how are you supposed to that without burning your self. You have to take the pie out of the oven and even if you have tried to pre-shape pieces of foil before putting the pie in to start baking, the pieces can't be put on so that they will stay in place. If you try with your bare hands, you get burned and if you use oven mitts you don't have the dexterity to do it. I tried twice and each time one piece would fall off completely and the others didn't fit properly. The end result was that gauging the proper cooking time was made harder because of having to take the pie out of the oven and the edges were still too brown. Also, there really was no difference between where the edge had been covered and where the cover didn't stay on at all.
