It definitely needs to cool to prevent burns – the filling is likely even above the boiling point of water, because it has so much sugar in it and has been in a hot oven. (It’s not like a cookie, which cools quickly enough so that you can (carefully) eat it fresh out of the oven. Pie has plenty of thermal mass.)
