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.

As the fall season approaches and Starbucks famed autumn lineup of cozy drinks prepares to hit menus around the country, fans have had concerns. Favorites of the season like the Pumpkin Spice Latte, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, and Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte would remain untouched and unchanged, but it was the line of apple crisp drinks that seemed on the chopping block.

Our Cooking Club is a fun way to celebrate the Love & Lemons community of readers. The concept is super simple-each month, I choose a recipe. You make it, and you leave a comment on the recipe's blog post. At the end of the month, I randomly select one winner to receive a prize. I love the sense of community that comes from so many people cooking one recipe each month.
