Place the second rolled-out dough over the apples. Trim both crusts to leave a 3\/4-inch overhang. Fold the edges under and crimp to seal<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\">Brush the top crust with heavy cream or egg wash. Use a sharp knife to cut several 1-inch slits in the top for steam to escape. Place the pan on a larger baking sheet to catch any overflow.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">Bake the Pie:<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the slits.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">Tips for Success<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">Keep the Dough Cold: Ensure your butter and water are very cold to achieve a flaky crust. Refrigerate the dough as needed during rolling and assembling.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">Choose the Right Apples: Use a mix of tart (like Granny Smith) and sweet (like Honeycrisp or Fuji) apples for a balanced flavor.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">Prevent Soggy Crust: Sprinkle a light layer of breadcrumbs or crushed graham crackers on the bottom crust before adding the apples to absorb excess juices.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">Apple Slab Pie is the ultimate crowd-pleasing dessert\u2014perfect for feeding a group, easy to serve, and irresistibly delicious!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A perfect dessert for parties or gatherings, Apple Slab Pie is a deliciously large and shareable version of a classic&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1859,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Apple Slab Pie - Grandma Baking Recipes","description":"A perfect dessert for parties or gatherings, Apple Slab Pie is a deliciously large and shareable version of a classic apple pie.
