Can it sit out?
Fruit pie is shelf-stable, so sitting out at room temperature isn’t the safety question — storage time is.
How to tell if fruit pie has gone bad
- Mold on the filling or on the underside of the top crust
- A fermented, boozy smell from the fruit
- Filling gone watery and leaking through the base
- A slick or sticky crust that has gone soft all the way through
When in doubt, throw it out.
Reheat a slice in the oven rather than the microwave — the crust comes back crisp instead of turning to paste.
