Apple Slab Pie
Description
Apple Slab Pie starts with two sheets of puff pastry layered and rolled out to form a thin, even crust base in a large sheet pan. The filling combines peeled and thinly sliced gala apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, salt, and vanilla, creating a sweet, spiced mixture that thickens as it bakes.
The pie is topped with a crumbly streusel made of cold butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon, which bakes to a golden crust adding texture contrast to the tender apples beneath. The baking process lasts about 40-45 minutes until the crust and topping brown nicely and the apples soften.
Once baked, the pie receives a drizzle of a glaze made from powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, maple extract, and milk, enhancing sweetness and complementing the fall flavors. The glaze can be simplified by substituting vanilla extract if desired. Apple Slab Pie serves well as a crowd-pleasing dessert at gatherings, offering a balance of buttery crust, warm spiced apples, and sweet glaze.
