What to bake with frozen crusts when in between pie seasons

Anonymous
We are moving across the country next month and are slowly emptying out our freezer. I have two frozen boxes of Pillsberry piecrust. Each box contains two circles to roll out and use for pies.

I feel like we are a bit in a “shoulder season” for pie. Apple and pumpkin pie don’t seem right to eat when it’s warm in springlike, yet we are a bit too early for ripe and not super expensive fresh fruits like peaches, rhubarb, strawberries, or cherries. If these were fill and bake crusts I would whip up some coconut cream or chocolate cream pies, or if they were graham cracker, I would do a Keylime pie or lemon tart. But I am a bit stumped. What fruits are in season that would work well for rollout crusts?

Help me think out of the (pie crust) box!

You could just blind bake them and make lemon meringue or fresh strawberry or a cream pie. Or quiche. Or chicken pot pie.

You can use Pillsbury crusts pies that don’t have to be baked; just blind bake the crust. I use those crusts all of the time for French Silk pie.

I would do a pot pie or blind bake and do a custard-type pie

Thanks all! I didn’t realize a blind bake would work so well with the roll outs. Appreciate the tips!
