Old-Fashioned Apple Slab
"A flaky, tender crust... cinnamon-y apple filling... Pie, right? Well, kind of. The ingredients are all pie; but the pan is rectangular, rather than round. The result? An ideal "apple pie" for potlucks and other occasions when you want a larger number of smaller servings. You can easily cut this pie into 16 to 20 servings - try THAT with a typical 9" pie! And what about that apple-cinnamon glaze on top? Pure heaven... Note: While we like the crust below, you can certainly use your favorite pie crust for this dish. Just make sure it calls for 2 1/2 to 3 cups of flour, to ensure you have enough crust for this size pan...."
