11x7 Inch Apple Slab Pie

National Pie Day is January 23, so in honor of that here's an apple pie!   To be more specific it is an Apple Slab Pie baked in an 11x7 inch pan. The usual recipe is double this, baked in a sheet pan and serves a crowd.  This 11x7 in Apple Slab Pie is perfect for smaller groups.

So what's the point of making a small slab pie?  Why not just make a round pie?  I had to kind of justify that before I made the pie, but now that I've made it I'm glad I did. Slab pies are easy to cut and serve, plus they are easy to fit into crowded freezers.

Slab pies also give you a higher ratio of dough to fruit, which is great if you are using some really delicious and flaky pie dough recipe.  I've been on a laminated pie crust kick lately and slab pies have been a good way to use the dough.  And even though there's a high ratio of dough to fruit, I think there's still enough fruit.

This is embarrassing to admit, but I do not enjoy peeling apples AT ALL and like this recipe because there are fewer apples to peel. I used Granny Smith's and threw in one Fuji for variety. The filling in this recipe holds together well.

  • Spread apple mixture into dough filled lined and spread evenly.
  • Roll the second ball of dough into a large rectangle. Drape over filling and push down around edges, pinching to seal. Make small cuts in center of pie to vents.

    Marlene, that is a great tip! I've never heard that one.

    Looks delicious! I find it's easier to peel an apple if I use my small tool that you push down over the whole apple to core it and cut into wedges, all in one motion. It's easier to take the peel off the individual wedges than dealing with the whole apple. I think the wedges are too thick for pie so then I will slice each of them into 2 or 3 individual slices. It's a trick I learned from a home economist who did lots of TV demonstrations.

    It seems like KA has an attachment for everything. Maybe if my beloved Breville goes I'll consider a KA. I'm intrigued by the cornflake version!

    Well if you’re embarrassed about hating to peel apples you’re not alone. I’m right there with you. I’m not above using the Kitchen Aid attachment that peels slices and cores. It’s one of the rare appliances I’m willing to wash to avoid an unpleasant kitchen task.
    I haven’t made slab pies in years and years! I think the recipe I used to make had corn flakes in with the apples. I’ll have to look it up to see if I’m remembering that correctly.
    The laminated dough you linked to looks amazing.
