What to wrap apple pie in when you store on counter?

You shouldn't store apple pie on the counter. It's best to refrigerate it to prevent bacterial growth and keep it fresh.

Here's why:

* Food Safety: Counter temperatures are ideal for bacteria to multiply, especially in baked goods with a high sugar content like apple pie. This can lead to spoilage and potential foodborne illness.

* Quality: Storing apple pie at room temperature can cause the crust to become soggy and the filling to lose its flavor and texture.

Instead of storing on the counter, here's what you should do:

1. Cool completely: Let the pie cool completely to room temperature before storing.

2. Wrap tightly: Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent moisture loss and keep it fresh.

3. Refrigerate: Store the wrapped pie in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

If you want to store the pie longer, consider freezing:

1. Cool completely: Let the pie cool completely to room temperature.

2. Wrap tightly: Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil or freezer paper.

3. Freeze: Freeze the wrapped pie for up to 2 months.

Important Note: When thawing a frozen pie, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. You can reheat it in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
