How to Make Party-Perfect Apple Slab Pie
-
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out two pie crusts and press them together to fit the bottom and sides of a 10×15-inch rimmed baking sheet. -
Mix the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine sliced apples with both sugars, lemon juice, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. -
Assemble the Pie:
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust in the pan. Roll out the remaining two pie crusts and place them on top, sealing and crimping the edges. -
Add Finishing Touches:
Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar for a golden finish. -
Bake:
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. -
Cool & Glaze:
Let cool completely. If desired, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the glaze, then drizzle over the cooled pie before slicing.
