"Apple crisps feature a delicious play of tender cooked apples, caramelized sugars, and crisp topping. This is not a situation where you can loosely top your dessert with a loose layer of plastic wrap and call it a day. Without airtight storage, freezer burn, a common culprit for dry or discolored frozen foods, can occur. When exposed to the cold air of the freezer, moisture from the dessert "sweats" out and tiny ice crystals form on the surface. Once thawed, icy spots can result in a dry apple crisp with a soggy exterior."
"Don't defeat the purpose of freezing your dessert by taking shortcuts. Storing your apple crisp in an airtight Tupperware or tight food wrap preserves the baked good's texture and ensures it doesn't pick up any off-odors that may be lingering in the freezer. Apple crisp can retain its fresh quality for a few months in the freezer, but airtight storage is key."
Freezing apple crisp requires airtight storage to prevent freezer burn, which causes moisture to "sweat" out, form ice crystals, and produce dry, discolored, or soggy results after thawing. Airtight Tupperware or tight food wrap preserves texture and prevents off-odors from other freezer items. Apple crisp can retain fresh quality for a few months when stored properly. Choose containers for softer or runnier crisps to contain filling; use wrap or freezer bags for firmer crisps that can be cut into pieces. For small portions, freeze pre-cut squares in airtight packaging for easy reheating.
