The Best Way To Reheat Apple Pie For Later

More methods for reheating apple pie

A toaster oven functions similarly to a traditional oven (and at the same temperature); however, be sure to monitor your pie after about 10 minutes, as toaster ovens tend to cook a bit quicker, increasing the risk of burning. An air fryer can accomplish the task in even less time—approximately five minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit (or up to seven minutes, depending on your appliance's power). Keep in mind that this quick heating may lead to filling overflow (which is unfortunate, especially if you've put in the effort to create a delicious apple pie filling with sour cream), so wrapping a slice in foil can help avoid a messy situation. For an entire pie, it may take around ten minutes, and it's advisable to place the pie on a heatproof plate.

If you don’t have any modern gadgets, you can also reheat your pie directly on the stovetop. Simply use a griddle or cast iron skillet and heat it to medium-high. Place a slice of pie on the surface, but cover it with a little aluminum foil to allow hot air to circulate and warm both the top and the center of the pie.

Of course, serving your apple pie cold is always an option—and some people might even prefer it that way. However, the best approach is to return to your classic conventional oven to achieve that perfect, fresh-out-of-the-oven pie experience.
