It’s official, I’ve started Christmas shopping. I have a whole plan of what to get and most will be online, so realistically I could be done any second – minus stockings of course. But for some reason I keep putting it off and thinking about it. Why? I don’t know. It’d be nice to just be done.

The Mr says absolutely no tree or Christmas movies until after Thanksgiving. But that only applies to when he’s home, right? ;)

Also, peppermint crunch Junior Mints are back. Yesss!!! Love. If you haven’t tried them… you must!

In other news… pie. Apple pie to be exact.

And even more specifically… apple-cinnamon slab pie with homemade cinnamon crust and crunchy oatmeal-brown sugar crumb topping. Yum!!!

I could eat this daily and not get sick of it.

Slab pies are a great way to serve pie to a crowd. This 9×13 pie will easily feed 12-15 … or less if you want really big slices, which would totally be okay too. No judging.

Don’t be scared of the homemade dough either. It’s easy! If you can press a button on a food processor OR knead flour, butter and water together – you can make this pie dough. No fuss.

Add this to your Fall baking plans and definitely your Thanksgiving dessert menu!

Apple Crumb Slab Pie

Easy pie for a crowd! A single crust slab pie, filled with tender cinnamon apples and topped off with a crisp granola and brown sugar crumb topping.
Prep Time30 mins
Cook Time1 hr
Total Time3 hrs 10 mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Apple, Pie
Servings: 12 plus

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 3 C all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 C unsalted butter cold
  • 6-10 Tbsp ice water

Topping:

  • 1/2 C unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 C light brown sugar
  • 1/2 C granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 C all purpose flour
  • 1 C old fashioned oats

Filling:

  • 8-10 medium apples
  • 3/4 C granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 C all purpose flour

Instructions

  • In a food processor, combine 3 cups flour with salt and cinnamon. Transfer cold cubed butter to food processor. With food processor running, begin adding 1 Tbsp ice water at a time until dough pulls together, but is not sticky. Shape dough into a ball and transfer to a large plastic bag. Flatten dough down into a disc. Chill for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • On a silicone counter mat or a well floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 9x13 jelly roll pan with some overhang. Carefully transfer dough to pan, pressing into the corners. Fold dough over to create a thicker edge. Chill until ready to fill.
  • In a medium bowl, combine crumb topping ingredients until all ingredients are well incorporated. Transfer to a large baking sheet. Break up mixture into small pieces. Set aside.
  • Peel and chop apples. Toss with a splash of lemon juice if needed to prevent browning. In a large bowl, toss together apples with remaining filling ingredients. Transfer to prepared pie dough. Cover well with crumb topping.
  • Bake for 60 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is crisp.
  • Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Recipe serves roughly 12-15, yields 1: 9x13-inch pie.

    Rachel, you make me sooo happy!! Finally someone who likes Christmas as much as I do. My husband seems to be like yours.. even if we’re not suppose to watch christmas movies until after Thanksgiving, he won’t know if I watch Christmas with the Kranks a time or two when he’s gone!

    It’s a little too early for Christmas for me. But I’m getting there. I think this would be a great dessert for the Thanksgiving dessert table though. Thanks for sharing.

      Haha! More apple pie is always a good thing. ;) It absolutely would work. Just keep in mind you might need to increase the quantities just a tad to accommodate the extra size. Enjoy!!

    hey, just found this recipe, which looks amazing! i’d like to try it out tomorrow for thanksgiving, but i don’t have the same pan size as yours (it’s a bit smaller). will it still look good and taste good too?

    thanks in advance, have a wonderful thanksgiving!

      Rachel — November 24, 2016 at 6:55 am

      Slightly smaller will be just fine. You may need to reduce the amount of apples a bit, which you can decide as you go. Good luck and happy Thanksgiving!
