How long does Apple Crisp last?
Apple crisp, a dessert made with baked apples topped with a crumbly mixture of flour, butter, sugar, and spices, can last for varying durations based on storage:
- Room Temperature: Freshly baked apple crisp can last at room temperature for about 1 to 2 days if covered tightly with foil or plastic wrap. However, it’s best to refrigerate it to extend its shelf life.
- Refrigeration: When properly stored in the refrigerator, apple crisp can last for about 3 to 4 days. Cover it tightly with foil or store it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
- Freezing: Apple crisp freezes relatively well. When tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and placed in a freezer bag or container, it can last for 2 to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
Always check for any signs of spoilage, such as changes in texture, an off odor, or freezer burn, before consuming stored apple crisp. If it appears or smells off, it’s safer to discard it to avoid the risk of foodborne illness.
