I do this too, but set the ziploc bags into metal pie pans to freeze -- that way they can slip right into the pie shell and then the oven w/o defrosting. Usually I use tapioca instead of flour when I plan on freezing them, seem to have less extra liquid.
Those fresh frozen pies are certainly delicious in the middle of winter!
