This slab apple pie recipe will surely please the whole table this next Thanksgiving!
Hi, everyone. Amber from Pillsbury here again. This time I am here to share a simple and delicious dessert with you. I love apple pie. It’s sweet and cinnamony. Do you know what is better than apple pie? A giant apple pie of course.Slab Apple Pie
What better way to make this crowd pleaser than jumbo sized? It’s all about the size pan. I made mine in a half sheet pan, which is 18 inches by 13 inches. You can also use a jelly roll pan. A pan of this size will require four pie crusts. You can buy them or make your own. If you are hoping for ready made that is gluten free I know that Pillsbury makes some.Pie Crust
You will use two crusts for the bottom and two for the top. The trick is to roll two out together and then trim the extra and use it to fill in the holes. That way you end up with a crust that completely covers the top and the bottom.Apple Pie Recipe

- Spread apples evenly in the bottom crust.
- Drizzle heavy cream over apples.
- Place top crust over apples and pinch edges to seal.

I just made this for a party tonight. I forgot to buy heavy cream so I just put pats of butter on top of the apples before I put the top crust on. I’m excited to cut into it later. It’s in the oven and smells AMAZING.
