Reheating apple pie without an air fryer is much easier than you think.
Reheating apple pie in the oven
All you need is a standard oven, some aluminum foil, and a few minutes to bring your delicious delight back to its former glory.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and carefully wrap the pie in aluminum foil, so it’s fully sealed.
Place the wrapped apple pie on a baking sheet and let it heat up in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
The time will vary depending on the size of the pie, so make sure to do a quick check after 15 minutes.
Before long, your apple pie will be warm and ready to enjoy!
How to reheat apple pie in the microwave
Reheating apple pie in the microwave is a great way to enjoy your favorite dessert, especially if you only want to reheat one slice.
All you need is a few minutes and a microwave oven.
Place the pie on a microwave-safe plate, set the power level to half, and heat for 45 seconds.
Then turn over the plate and microwave again for an additional 45 seconds.
Keep microwaving until your apple pie has reached your desired temperature.
When you’re done, let your fresh-tasting apple pie cool before serving so everyone can enjoy it!
It’s best not to cover the apple pie slice with plastic wrap to avoid a soggy crust.
The moisture trapped by the wrap can make for a limp and unappealing pie crust – reheat your pie without wrapping it for a crispy and delicious result!
