How do I store the Apple Pie Tacos?

Place them into a container that is airtight, yet large enough so they can be stood on the side, this way the filling does not fall out.

Can I freeze the Apple Pie Tacos?

You can freeze the Apple Pie tacos, but there could be a slight texture difference in the apples when the dessert thaws. If you do freeze them, they can be stored for 2 months.

Can I reheat these Apple Pie Tacos?
