The Oven – The Best Way To Reheat The Apple Pie

There is no denying that an oven is the best apparatus for reheating apple pie. It is the appliance that is originally used to bake the pie, so it makes clear sense to reheat it in the oven. It will warm the pie evenly throughout, keeping it crispy on the outside and moist inside.

One of the downsides of heating apple pie in the microwave is that it takes a little longer than that of the oven, but it would make it up in taste and texture.

The Step-By-Step Guide On Heating Apple Pie In The Oven

Here is the rundown of how to reheat apple pie in an oven:

• Get the apple pie out of the storage.

• Set the temperature of the oven for preheating at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Then, put the apple pie in the pre-heated oven for around 15 to 30 minutes. Make sure to check periodically during this time until the pie is as warm as you would like it to be.

• Remember, the point of heating is to enhance the original taste not to bake it all over again. So, do not leave the pie inside long enough.

• Make sure the crust remains tender and stiff as it was in the first place. Leaving it inside for long can burn the crust.

• Get the pie out of the oven and serve it with whatever you like. It goes well with both cream and ice cream.

How To Reheat Frozen Apple Pie In The Oven?

If you had tucked in some apple pie earlier in your freezer for a special occasion, you can reheat it even if it is completely frozen. Once again, the oven is the best apparatus that you can use for your task. Just follow our guide to get excellent results.

• This time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit because the pie is frozen.

• Put the apple pie on a quality baking sheet.

• Then, use the aluminum foil to cover the apple pie lightly.

• Put the pie in the pre-heated oven, again, for around 15 to 30 minutes. It is at your discretion to check on the pie periodically. It is because there are some ovens that work faster than the others.

• Take it out when it is warm throughout.

• Leave it for a while to cool off a little and then serve.

Pro Tip: Using aluminum foil while reheating frozen apple pie does the trick. It keeps the crust from burning until the bottom of the pie is warm enough. The result is that you get a pie that is still moist on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Reheating Apple Pie Using Microwave

There is no doubt that the oven is the best way to heat up apple pie in a way that it remains crisp and moist. But if you are not patient enough to let the oven preheat, you can always use a microwave.

So, if you are ready to give up some of the qualities for quick heating, here is how to do it:

• In the microwave put the cold apple pie.

• Heat it for 60 seconds, then get it out of the microwave and leave it to settle for 30 seconds.

• Check the temperature of the pie. If it needs to be heated, put it inside the microwave and heat for 30 seconds more.

• Serve with cream or ice cream, what keeps you going.

Pro Tip: When you give 30 seconds to the pie to rest after getting it out of the oven, it distributes the heat evenly throughout the pie so that you do not have extremely hot and cold portions of the pie.
