- Comments: Beth Secrest once baked four to eight pies a day at the Northern Lights Saloon on the border of Glacier National Park. Now she puts her baking expertise to use at home, where she created this dressed-up apple pie. If making it up to 1 day ahead, cover and chill. To hot the cool pie, bake uncovered in a 350 degrees oven 10 to 15 min.
