CINNAMON-SWIRL APPLE SLAB PIE

Steps:

• On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll one disk of dough into a 12-by-17-inch rectangle. Transfer crust to a 10 1/2-by-15 1/4-inch rimmed baking sheet or jelly-roll pan and press into bottom edges and up sides. Fold overhang under and around edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine room-temperature butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll second disk of dough into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Evenly spread butter mixture over dough all the way to ends, then, starting at a long edge, tightly roll into a log. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with a rack in lower third and a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack below. In a large bowl, toss together apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and vanilla. Fill piecrust with apple mixture and dot with cold butter.
• Cut dough log into 1/4-inch slices, rotating with each slice to keep slices round. (You'll need 63 slices total.) Arrange slices over apple mixture, slightly overlapping, in nine rows of seven. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Brush top of pie with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until top crust is just set, 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees and continue baking until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Slab pie tastes best the day it's made.

APPLE SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Remove 2 of the pie crusts from pouches. On lightly floured surface, unroll and stack crusts one on top of the other. Roll to 18x12-inch rectangle. Fit crust into 15x10x1-inch pan, pressing firmly into corners and sides, stretching dough slightly to fit, if necessary. Do not trim pie crust edges.
• In large bowl, stir apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and lemon juice until well mixed. Spoon apple mixture evenly into crust-lined pan.
• On lightly floured surface, unroll and stack remaining 2 pie crusts one on top of the other. Roll into 18x12-inch rectangle. Place on top of apples. Pinch edges of crusts together to seal, tucking extra pie crust under, if necessary. Flute or crimp edges. Cut slits in several places on top crust.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. If necessary, loosely cover pie with foil last 10 to 15 minutes of bake time, to prevent over browning. Cool at least 2 hours before serving. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 4 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add sliced apples and cook, stirring occasionally until lightly browned (6-8 min). Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Continue to simmer, stirring occassionally until apples are soft and caramelized (5 min).
• Lightly dust a sheet of parchment paper with flour. Place your thawed puff pastry dough over it and roll it out slightly to flatten the top (9 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches). Cut puff pastry dough in half down the center to make two pieces (each 4 3/4 x 10 1/2 inches)
• Arrange apples in a tight row lengthwise down the middle of one puff pastry sheet leaving a one inch border on all sides. Pour remaining syrup from the apples over the top of the apples. Brush your beaten egg around the edges of your pastry. Top with the second pastry sheet and press down on the edges to seal.
• Cut 6 (1-inch wide) slits down the center of your pastry to create vents.
• Brush the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle the top generously with coarse sugar. Bake at 400˚F for 15-17 min or until top is golden brown.

APPLE SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Leave the pie crusts out to come to room temperature per the directions on the box. Place two of the pie crusts on top of each other on a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll it out to a rough rectangle that is 18x12 inches.
• Using a 10x15x1-inch jelly roll pan, place the crust in the pan, forming it in the pan with the excess crust overlapping the sides. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, add the sliced apples, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
• Stir together until fully combined.
• Spoon the apples evenly onto the crust.
• Again, roll out the last two pie crusts into an 18x12 rectangle. Place them on top of the pan.
• Tuck the top crust under the bottom and crimp the edges. Cut slits in the top crust so air can escape.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, tenting with foil after the first 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown. If you think it needs more browning after 35 minutes, take the foil off and watch closely until your desired color is reached.
• Place on a wire rack to cool for 1 hour.
• While the pie is cooling, place the milk in a small saucepan and place it on the stove over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally, at the very first sign of any bubbling, take it off the what, and whisk in the butter. Let it cool to room temperature and then whisk in the powdered sugar.
• After the pie has cooled for 1 hour, brush it all over with the glaze with a pastry brush. Wait 30 minutes, brush another layer of glaze on. Let cool for 30 more minutes, slice and serve.
