stewed apples

[lilacben]

How long do you think it would be safe to eat some apples that had been cooked on sunday.? I have been ill since last saturday and my husband stewed some apples and put them in the fridge but they are still there. would they be safe to eat today if put in a crumble.? Brenda x

If they look and smell OK I would, after all they've been cooked, stored in a fridge and you're putting them into a hot oven again.

Reckon they'll be fine if your fridge maintains the recommended temperature of 5 degrees or lower. I often make a jumbo batch of Bramley apple sauce on Sunday for eating for roast pork. I store the residue in a bowl in the fridge, or a plastic container with a lid and stir in a couple of spoonfuls every morning with blackberries during the week when microwaving my porridge. If there's any left by Friday it's still perfectly OK.
