Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Try to maintain heat around 350°F. Place foil pie pan upside down on grill to make elevated surface. Place foil pizza pan on top so it is elevated off grill. Cover grill; cook 12 to 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from grill; cool 10 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Store any remaining pies tightly covered up to 3 days.
