Step-by-Step Directions for Apple Slab Pie Recipe
- For the Apple Filling: Peel and core apples and slice into 1/4-inch slices. I use a mandoline slicer to make uniform slices.
- Place sliced apples in a large bowl and mix with brown sugar, corn starch and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Crust: Roll the pie dough out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 14 x 20 inches. Press the pie crust into a rimmed sheet pan, I used a 13 x 18 x 1 inch pan. Place the pie crust into the refrigerator while you make the crumb topping.
- Crumble Topping: Add flour, brown sugar, oats and cinnamon to a large bowl. Slice cold butter into the flour mixture. Mix with a fork, pastry cutter or use your hands until butter is the size of small peas and oat and flour becomes coarse crumbs.
- Make the Pie: Remove pie crust from the refrigerator. Stir the apples. Spoon apples over the top of the crust, leaving excess liquid in the bowl. Sprinkle crumble mixture over the top of the filling in an even layer.
- Bake: Place in a pre-heated oven for 40- 45 minutes or until crust and crumble are golden brown.
- Cool: Remove from oven to a wire rack. Cool 15 minutes.
- Caramel: Drizzle the top of the pie with caramel sauce.
- Serving: Slice and serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and additional caramel sauce.
Caramel Apple Pie Notes and Tips
- Storage: Cover pie with foil and keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
- Crust Tips: Keep the dough chilled until ready to make the pie. Add more flour as you are rolling the dough to keep it from sticking.
- Caramel: Make homemade caramel sauce or use your favorite caramel ice cream topping or syrup.
- Occasions: Apple pie is one of those desserts that doesn’t require an occasion and this recipe is easy enough for any day of the week. It is a large pie so it’s great for family gatherings and holidays like 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
