How To Store Leftover Apple Cinnamon Casserole

Once the casserole is baked and cooled, cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight food storage container. Refrigerate the casserole for up to four days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through, or place the casserole in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 10–15 minutes, covered with foil to prevent it from drying out.

Can You Freeze This Casserole?

Yes, you can easily freeze this breakfast casserole to enjoy later. Just wrap the leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and foil or use a freezer-safe container. The casserole can be frozen for up to 2 months—just thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
