Absolutely! A Glazed Apple Slab Pie is like a giant apple pop tart meets classic apple pie — perfect for feeding a crowd, or just for big autumn cravings. Here’s a full, flaky, gooey, glazed version of it:
🍎 Glazed Apple Slab Pie
📦 Ingredients:
For the crust:
-
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp salt
-
1 tsp sugar
-
1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
-
6–8 tbsp ice water
(Or use 2 sheets of store-bought refrigerated pie crust or puff pastry)
For the filling:
-
6 cups thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or mix)
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
¼ cup light brown sugar
-
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tbsp butter (cut into small bits, for dotting on filling)
For the glaze:
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
1–2 tbsp milk or cream
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
🧑🍳 Instructions:
1. Make the crust (if homemade):
-
Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender or forks until pea-sized crumbs form.
-
Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until dough holds together.
-
Divide into 2 disks, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven:
To 375°F (190°C).
3. Prepare the filling:
In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out juices.
4. Roll out the dough:
-
Roll out one disk of dough to fit a 10×15-inch rimmed baking sheet (jelly roll pan).
-
Press into the pan and let edges hang over slightly.
-
Spread apple filling evenly across. Dot with small bits of butter.
-
Roll out second disk and lay over the top. Pinch or crimp the edges together. Cut small slits in the top to vent.
(For puff pastry or store-bought dough, just roll and trim to fit the pan as needed.)
5. Bake:
Bake at 375°F for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. If crust browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
6. Cool & glaze:
Let cool at least 20–30 minutes.
Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled pie.
🔪 Slice & Serve:
Cut into squares or bars and serve warm or room temp — great with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
🍏 Tips:
-
Add-ins: Raisins, chopped walnuts, or a touch of caramel drizzle inside the filling? Amazing.
-
Make-ahead: You can assemble the whole slab pie, freeze it, and bake straight from frozen (just add 10–15 minutes to bake time).
