Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover apple dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its creamy texture, give it a good stir before serving again. This dip is best enjoyed fresh, but if it thickens too much, you can soften it by mixing in a little milk or cream before serving.
