To store Apple Fries, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. For freezing, allow to cool completely, then freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
