Apple Filling

The apple filling can be made up to 5 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature and stir well before using, as it may thicken when chilled. The filling can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Once assembled with cake layers, store the finished dessert covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days. The filling alone can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
