If you’ve ever hosted a crowd and realized you’ve made one pie for ten people…
You know the struggle.
Apple pie is a classic.
It’s comforting.
It’s nostalgic.
But slicing and serving a single pie for a group is like trying to divide love — it never feels fair.
Enter: Apple Slab Pie — the oversized, easy-to-share alternative to the traditional pie that bakes in a single layer and feeds a hungry crowd without the stress.
Think of it as:
A giant apple pie.
A cross between a tart and a cobbler.
A dessert that says, “I baked something special — but didn’t cry over the crust.”
Let’s explore how to make this rustic, buttery, cinnamon-sugar-filled slab pie — and why it might just become your new go-to for potlucks, family dinners, and lazy Sunday baking.
