10 BEST SLAB PIE RECIPES

WHAT IS A SLAB PIE?

A slab pie is essentially a large, shallow pie baked in a sheet pan instead of a traditional round pie dish. The larger size means you can cut it into squares or bars and serve a crowd without making multiple pies.

They're especially handy for holidays and gatherings because they're easy to transport, simple to slice, and you can get a lot more servings from one pan.

WHY MAKE A SLAB PIE?

THEY FEED A CROWD

A traditional pie might serve 8–10 people, while a slab pie can provide significantly more servings depending on the size of your pan and how you cut it.

THEY'RE GREAT FOR PARTIES

Slab pies are easy to transport and don't require individual servings. Just slice into squares and serve!

THEY'RE PERFECT FOR HOLIDAYS

If you're feeding a crowd at Thanksgiving, Christmas, a family reunion, or a summer barbecue, a slab pie is an easy way to make dessert go further.

SLAB PIE TIPS

• Use the correct pan. Most slab pies are designed for a rimmed sheet pan or jelly-roll pan. Check the individual recipe for the recommended pan size.
• Don't skip the rim. A rimmed pan keeps the filling and juices contained while the pie bakes.
• Let it cool before slicing. Giving the pie time to cool allows the filling to set and makes it much easier to cut clean slices.
• Cut smaller pieces for a crowd. Slab pies are ideal for parties because you can cut them into smaller squares to get more servings.
• Serve with ice cream. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is always a good idea, especially with warm apple, peach, berry, or pumpkin slab pie!
