How to Store, Freeze & Reheat

Serve this focaccia warm, right out of the oven, with a drizzle of vanilla glaze or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s also wonderful alongside a cup of coffee for breakfast, or as a sweet addition to a brunch table.

Leftovers keep well in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to a month. To reheat, pop it in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes—it’ll taste freshly baked.

WOW Apple Fritter Focaccia

This apple fritter focaccia is a heavenly hybrid—soft, pillowy bread studded with caramelized apple chunks and a crackly cinnamon-sugar top. It’s like your favorite coffee shop fritter, but easier and made for sharing.

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, salt, and granulated sugar. Add warm water and olive oil, then stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled.
  3. While dough rises, toss diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F. Press risen dough into a generously oiled 9x13-inch baking sheet, dimpling with your fingers. Scatter the apple mixture evenly over the top, pressing lightly.
  5. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and crisp at the edges. Cool slightly, then drizzle with powdered sugar glaze if using. Serve warm.

👩🍳 Chef Elena’s Kitchen Notes & Storage

Use a crisp, tart apple like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp—they hold their shape and balance the sweetness. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 1 month; reheat in a toaster oven to revive the crisp top.
