Apple Slab Pie

Aple Slab Pie. Make your homemade pie go farther using the same ingredients as your typical round pie. Cut it in squares! #apple #pie #tip

Apple Pie Slab ~It’s official! The fall weather is coming and the orchard and farm down the street is bustling. The apple trees are straining their limbs to hold all though delicious apples. Honey Crisp are being harvested and I got a bushel for eating and baking. Today, with the sun shining in the windows and a nice breeze blowing in the patio door wall I fired up my oven. And whoa, I didn’t use fired lightly. Whipping up the slab pie was not much more than peeling and cutting the large apples. After sliding my pan into the oven I suddenly remembered I didn’t add my signature pads of butter to the apples! Trying not to let the steam burn my face I frantically sliced butter and tossed it into the pan. The last one MISSED and sizzled as it melted and burned on the electric coils. I prefer gas, but this home has NO GAS lines and I didn’t like the price to do the changeover. Black smoke filled the air as the smoke alarm screamed its warning and I ran through the house with my apron fanning the air. What a sight to see. Gentle hubby stood and laughed as I cried. The worst part of the ordeal is the lovely aroma of baking pie just couldn’t make it past the burning butter. Of course, my timer problem (I never remember to set it) reared its ugly head and the entire edge of my pie was black. I decided to go ahead and take a photo for this recipe anyway. After all, we have all burned a pie or two, eh? Well, now you know. The best laid plans for a nice dessert can go awry. Need more deliciousness?

    I’ve burnt more than just one or two things…lol. And I can totally relate to the smoke alarm going off to something burnt too! Whoever built this house decided it was a smart idea to place a smoke alarm a few feet away from our stove, so it goes off even when there isn’t anything burning :-/ Anyway, your slab pie looks wonderful! Thanks again for taking the time to share on Merry Monday!

      Thank you Jean. We all try to hide those fails as we don;t want ot ruin our reputation. I actually think that I get more smiles and comments when I share them. I am glad you also love slab pies. I never met a crowd that wouldn’t eat one! Enjoy.

      I sure hope you enjoy it. Just don’t burn it like I did! I made it high, like my pies. But that required another pan a rack below for any juices that got away. Let me know if you get the chance to try the recipe!! Enjoy.

    Oh no! I hate when I do stuff like that in the kitchen.. or when my helpers do. Tonight we had spaghetti sauce everywhere! It does look tasty and if you hadn’t told me I wouldn’t have noticed it was burnt. Pinned.

      Spaghetti sauce is so much more devastating! I was making pumpkin puree in my pressure cooker and long story short, it was all over the ceiling. A scene from a bad movie!

    I love slab pie. I also can just see your husband laughing as the smoke alarm goes off. Sometimes those men just remain so calm in a “crisis”. Thank you for the recipe.

    Marilyn, I love your slab pie AND your story! I’ve always put a top crust on my slab pies, but I think this looks so pretty without it that I’m going to skip the top crust next time. My sister’s husband was named Jesse, and my sister was frequently setting off the smoke alarm, so my dad started calling the smoke alarm “Jesse’s dinner bell!”

    Marilyn, even your burnt pie looks delicious! I’m going to try making your slab pie; it seems we always have a crowd so it will be nice to have dessert go further. And as for your burning butter…on Christmas Eve, just before we all sat down to eat, I pulled the last pumpkin pie out of the oven. It was on a rimless metal baking sheet. I was distracted, and the whole pie slid off the back of the baking sheet, spilling into the hot oven. Christmas Eve dinner on the table, company sitting down to eat…fire alarms going off and horrible mess in the oven! Merry Christmas! 🙂

      A genius cropping job his the very black edges of that pie! I love your fiasco. I hear you. My favorite holiday blooper was when we were first married. We had gotten our first home and borrowed an antique oven from my mom. One of those with drawers built in the side and a griddle on top with 4 burners. I was so excited to show off my home and cooking, I invited 23 people for Thanksgiving dinner. 7 hours after everyone got there I was still crying that the turkey was white. Seems the gas line wasnt attached and no heat was going through. AND NO ONE TOLD ME! LOL!

    Oh Marilyn, I wish I could cook like you do. Black smoke and alarms are a common occurrence in our kitchen every time I go in there I’m afraid. Thanks for sharing the recipe though, I’m pinning it just in case I finally conquer my kitchen demons. A girl can always dream

    So glad to know that someone else forgets to set their timer. My husband would be laughing too and I would be crying. You are such a joy! I have lots of apples and plan on making it this week.

      I can’t stand long so I sit a lot preparing food. My counter is too high by about 6 inches. My husband laughs when I get flour fom head to toe while using the mixer. He took a video once like that and blackmails me all the time about posting it on social media! My fails are one reason you mainly see only one photo and none of the baking process on the blog. Thanks Bev for making me smile.

      Barbara, I am usually quite calm during a crisis and ted to fall apart when it is over. This time with the knowledge of people coming over and plans to post my picture, I totally lost it! Oh what if my readers were a fly on the wall? What a great moment to watch me! Have a great week.

    Well, Marilyn, since I don’t have you to bake one of these luscious desserts for me, (and even with a recipe, I’ll burn it), I will have to head up to Apple Hill and buy something similar! Thanks for sharing this wonderful fall recipe on #TheLeisureLink!

      This slab pie makes eating a piece of pie easy! You can grab any size slice you like and eat it in your hand! And it is easy to make! Your idea of an afternoon snack is great Debbie!

    What a story! I’ve burned a lot more than a pure. Nachos are my nemesis. I like this idea of pie in a sheet pan.I have Anne sift apples needing to be used. I think I just found out how. 🙂 pinned!
