How To Store & Reheat

Refrigerator: Let the crisp cool completely, then cover the dish tightly with foil or plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezer: The baked crisp also freezes well. Once it’s fully cooled, store it in a freezer-safe container and wrap the dish well in foil. It will freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.

How To Freeze Unbaked Apple Cranberry Pumpkin Crisp

You can freeze both the baked and unbaked crisps. My favorite way to do it is to freeze unbaked crisps. Prepare the apple filling and topping, then layer them in your freezer-safe, oven-safe container. Then cover well with foil.

Write the date and cooking instructions on the foil and place it in your freezer.

To cook from frozen, remove it from the freezer, remove the foil and plastic wrap (if used), and place the foil back on loosely.

Bake, covered, at 350°F for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
