How to Make Apple Slab Pie
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar.
- Add cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter (or hands) to mix until crumbly.
- Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough holds together.
- Divide the dough into two portions, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Apple Filling
- In a large bowl, combine apple slices, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
- Stir in cornstarch or flour to help thicken the filling.
- Let sit for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out one portion of the dough and fit it into a 9×13-inch baking sheet.
- Spread the apple filling evenly over the crust.
- Roll out the second dough portion and place it on top. Seal edges by crimping with a fork.
- Cut a few small slits on top for steam to escape.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
