Recipe Notes

How to Store and Reheat Apple Bread

This bread should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days. You can serve it chilled or warmed up.

To warm up your apple bread, microwave it in 15 second increments until it reaches your desired temperature.

How to freeze:

You can freeze the entire loaf or individual servings. All you have to do is wrap the cooled bread in plastic wrap or store it in a sealed plastic bag with all of the air removed. If you're freezing individual servings, layer them between pieces of parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Be sure to thaw out your bread in the fridge overnight before serving it. Frozen apple bread will stay fresh for up to 3 months.
