Hmm...tough call. I would probably still eat a sliver of it, if it didn't have dairy in it...I cannot think of the harm. I could be wrong though.

If it had a solid crust (not french-apple type crust), I'd say it's fine. Without that, nope - into the trash it goes, 'cause it's a perfect breeding ground for all kinds of stuff.
(The reason I mention the solid crust is that the whole reason for pot pies to have been invented is to keep leftovers good overnight before refrigeration!)

My grandmother and my mother and I have always left fruit pies out with no ill effects, sometimes until they were finished. Most of them have enough sugar to dehydrate all but the bravest cooties anyway. Apple crumb pie, strawberry pie, no problem. Now blueberry custard, that's another matter, but just fruit and sugar in a crust seems to be fine.

Fruit pies are fine to leave out because of their high sugar content, it does not create a good enviroment for bacteria to grow. If it was a cream/pudding pie I would say throw it out

lol... guess it depends on who makes the pie! my apple and strawberry pies have nearly no added sugar, just the cut fruit.
