Apple Crumb Slab Pie
ShareEasy apple 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.
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
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.

I can’t lie. I totally put my tree up on Monday. I just adore all things Christmas!! I also happen to adore all things pie, so this is happening to my face pronto! Pinned!
Haha! I saw that pic. I’m not quite ready for decorations but music and the occasional show and presents… totally game.
The crumb topping looks so buttery and crunchy! I need to keep my eyes out for those Junior Mints!
They’re SO good!
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!
Right?! What they don’t know won’t hurt them ;)
That crumb topping is to die for for!
Thanks so much Tieghan!
I am right there with you – I could eat this every day too! The crumb topping looks crazy good!
Thanks Anna!
Yum. Just yum.
Thanks Janelle!
Anything with a crumb topping always tastes so much better…I could eat this everyday!
I totally agree :)
this pie is right up my alley, I can never get my crust to work, so slab pie is perfect
It’s so much easier!
What a perfect dessert for a fall holiday meal! Wow – this looks fantastic!
Thanks Martha!
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.

PS I have to take down the Halloween wreath tonight! YIKES!!!!
Definitely perfect for Thanksgiving! :)
This is so lovely!!! I wanna plant my face in it! Seriously.
I’d be right there with you ;)
My husband rolls his eyes at me when I say I want to watch Christmas movies and decorate already, glad I’m not alone! I love slab pies, they’re perfect for crowds. This crumb topping couldn’t be any more perfect!
I may have watched part of Elf in August… no shame ;) Love that movie.
This looks so yummy! So what Christmas movie did you sneak in while the hubby wasn’t home? :)
None yet but I’m sure it won’t stay that way too much longer :)
I totally now believe in love at first sight. This slab pie and I are going to run away together, mmkay? LOVE!
Awww thanks Jenn :)
This is just perfection. All the crumb topping is making me drool! Pinned.
Thanks Rachel!
this looks amazing! love it!
Thanks Angelyn!
Well, I know what we’re doing when I visit you in a couple weeks – Christmas shop tax-free! I request we go to the christmas tree shop too cause we don’t have those here :) Can I just sleep inside this slab pie? I mean, it looks so comforting ;)
Haha… it’s nothing like World Market but is good for some things ;)
Such a gorgeous pie, I love that crumble topping!
Thanks so much Laura!
Love, love, love this so much! I’m almost ready for Christmas decorations!
Thanks Stephanie!
I love slab pies and this one looks so delicious!!!
Thanks Amanda!
omg, this looks amazing. do you think it would work with 11×15 jelly roll pan. 9×13 just isn’t enough! LOL
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!!
I don’t think it can ever be too early to start Christmas baking!
Agreed! :)
I want this like no body’s business!!
Wish I could give you a slice! :)
This apple pie looks delicious and I love that it’s bigger and can feed more people. Absolutely yummy thank you for the recipe. Ps absolutely fine with Christmas once November starts!!! Sammie ;)
Thanks Sammie!
I could this eat all day too! Or at least look at it all day… What a feast for the eyes. I love this time of the year and Christmas couldn’t come soon enough. :)
Thanks so much Rakhee!
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!
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!
No time to make the dough.. can I just buy one? Do you recommend one?
Homemade dough is surprisingly quick – only a few minutes to make it and another few to roll it out after chilling. In a pinch you could use store bought if you already have it on hand though. I wouldn’t make a special trip to the store to get it, as you could make homemade in that time.
