Description
This Apple Slab Pie is a crowd-pleasing dessert, perfect for holidays and potlucks. It features a flaky crust filled with tender, spiced apples, baked to golden perfection. Easier to serve than a traditional pie, it’s a guaranteed hit!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 6 cups thinly sliced peeled baking apples (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Unroll one pie crust and press it into a 9×13-inch baking pan. Trim any excess dough.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice until evenly coated.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the top of the apples with the small pieces of butter.
- Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the apple filling. Crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg. If desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the pie with aluminum foil.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set.
Notes
- For an extra festive touch, you can cut decorative shapes from the second pie crust to arrange on top before baking.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic combination.
- Leftovers can be stored, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
