Description
A gloriously sweet and tangy glazed apple slab pie, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 to 8 tablespoons cold water
- 6 cups thinly sliced Granny Smith apples
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a sheet pan.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half, shape each half into discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out one disc to fit the prepared sheet pan and place it inside.
- In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Pour this apple mixture over the crust.
- Roll out the second disc and place it over the apples, sealing the edges. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden.
- Let it cool before glazing.
- For the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth, and drizzle over the cooled pie before serving.
Notes
Use a pastry cutter for cutting in the butter to achieve the right texture. Allow the pie to cool before adding the glaze for better presentation.
