Leftovers
To make sure you can enjoy the deliciousness crumble for days to come, it’s important to store any leftovers properly. Follow these simple steps to keep your leftovers fresh and tasty:
- Allow the Crumble to Cool: Before storing your leftovers, allow the crumble to cool completely at room temperature. This will help prevent condensation from forming, which can make the crumble soggy.
- Use Airtight Containers: Transfer the leftover crumble into airtight containers. Glass or plastic containers with tight-fitting lids work well for this purpose. Make sure the containers are clean and dry before adding the crumble.
- Store in the Refrigerator: Place the airtight containers in the refrigerator to keep the crumble fresh. The refrigerator helps maintain the texture and flavor of the crumble for a longer period. It is best to consume the leftovers within 3-4 days.
- Reheating: When you’re ready to enjoy the leftovers, you can reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven. To reheat in the microwave, place a portion of the crumble on a microwave-safe dish and heat in short intervals, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. To reheat in the oven, preheat the oven to (175°C)350°F, place the crumble in an oven-safe dish, and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until heated thoroughly.
- Freezing: If you have a large amount of leftover crumble and won’t be able to consume it within a few days, you can freeze it for later enjoyment. Label containers with the date and store them in the freezer for up to three months. To thaw, transfer the frozen crumble to the refrigerator overnight, and then reheat using the instructions mentioned above.
