Storing Apple Pie: How Long Does Apple Pie Last , Baked or Unbaked?

 

Few things are more comforting or delicious than a freshly baked apple pie. Try making a few pies at once and putting aside the extras for later. It’s a great timesaver — apple pie freezes well, baked or unbaked.

How to Store Baked Apple Pie:

   You can keep baked apple pies at room temperature for up to two days. If the pie has been sliced, cover loosely with foil or plastic wrap.

   Apple pie will keep for an additional 2-3 days in the refrigerator, loosely covered with foil or plastic wrap.

   To freeze, wrap pie tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place in heavy-duty freezer bag. Use the pie within 3-4 months of freezing for best quality.

   Defrost the apple pie in the refrigerator and then re-heat in a 350 degree F oven until warm (about 30 minutes).

 

How to Store Unbaked Apple Pie:

   You can keep unbaked apple pies for up to two days in the refrigerator. Cover loosely with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

   To freeze, wrap unbaked pie tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place in a freezer bag and seal tightly.

   Keep unbaked apple pies for up to four months in the freezer for best quality.

   When you are ready to bake the pie, cut vent holes in the upper crust and set the pie on a cookie sheet. Bake without thawing at 450 degrees F, 15-20 minutes. Then reduce heat to 375 F for 20-30 minutes or until the top crust is brown.
