How to Make Apple Slab Pie

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar.
2. Add cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter (or hands) to mix until crumbly.
3. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough holds together.
4. Divide the dough into two portions, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Apple Filling

1. In a large bowl, combine apple slices, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
2. Stir in cornstarch or flour to help thicken the filling.
3. Let sit for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

2. Roll out one portion of the dough and fit it into a 9×13-inch baking sheet.
3. Spread the apple filling evenly over the crust.
4. Roll out the second dough portion and place it on top. Seal edges by crimping with a fork.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

2. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
