Do you have leftover apple crisp and youre wondering what to do with it? While you could just treat yourself to a second helping (and I dont blame you if you do!), you can also store it and enjoy it at another time. Learn all about how to store the leftovers so that they are as good as fresh as well as how to prepare it ahead and store it before baking.[feast_advanced_jump_to]
We almost always have fresh apples on the counter, enough butter in the fridge and all of the dry ingredients in the pantry to whip up this family favorite at a moments notice.
And with much less prep time compared to making an apple pie, I sometimes even make it to satisfy our sweet tooth with a weeknight dinner. Cinnamon, tender apples and a scoop of ice cream just hits the spot!
Fortunately, it can easily be kept in the fridge for a couple of days or even frozen so the leftovers dont go to waste.
And today Im sharing my tips for how to best keep the leftovers from this type of apple dessert so that they taste as good as the day you baked it.
Refrigerating Baked Apple Crisp
1. Cool. Allow your hot apple crisp to cool completely by setting the whole baking pan on a wire rack. Allow it to cool for 2-3 hours to room temperature. If you store it too soon, the extra heat and moisture will cause it to get soggy.
2. Package. You have two options depending on how much is leftover. You can either:
- Keep it in the dish that it was baked in and cover with plastic wrap
- Transfer it into an airtight container (or into several portioned individual containers)
*For extra assurance to protect against soggy leftovers, you can cover the dish with one or two paper towels to absorb additional moisture from condensation.
3. Store. Place it in the refrigerator for 2-4 days. Or it can be frozen. See below for more details on freezing.
Made last night. Forgot to refrigerate last night and didnt notice on my rush to go to work this morning. Will it be ok if made 24 hours ago?
