APPLE RASPBERRY SLAB PIE

Steps:

• For the Crust: Put the flour, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse on and off until it forms a very coarse meal; there might be pockets of butter that are larger, which is fine. Drizzle in the smaller amount of water through the feed tube and pulse until the dough is moistened and just holds together if squeezed. Add additional water only if necessary. Gather the dough into two balls, one slightly larger than the other, and flatten into rectangles. Wrap the doughs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days. Dough may also be frozen for 1 month, in which case, protect it further by placing in a zipper-top bag; defrost in the refrigerator overnight. Let the dough soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.
• For Assembly and the Filling: Position rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 15-inch by 10-inch by 1-inch rimmed baking pan with nonstick spray; set aside.
• Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the larger piece of dough to an 18-inch by 13-inch rectangle. Drape and center the dough in the pan; there will be overhang.
• Place the apples slices, berries, ⅔ cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon juice in a large bowl and fold to combine. Scrape onto the crust.
• Roll out second dough to about 16 inches by 11 inches and center it on top of filling. Use a scissors to evenly trim both top and bottom crusts leaving about 2 inches of overhang all around. Fold the bottom crust up and over the top crust and pinch to seal along all of the edges. Brush the top with the milk and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cut several vents on top, along sides and in center of crust for even baking (there is a lot of steam to escape).
• Bake for about 40 to 50 minutes or until the pie is golden brown all over and the juices are bubbling. Cool at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature; pie is best served the same day.

APPLE-RASPBERRY SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of pate brisee to a 15-by-12-inch rectangle. Fit into a 13-by-9 1/4-inch rimmed baking sheet, pressing into corners. Trim to a 1-inch overhang all around. Chill while assembling filling.
• Using a sharp knife, split vanilla bean and scrape seeds into a large bowl along with 1/4 cup flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, apples, and lemon juice; toss to combine. Pour mixture evenly over chilled pie crust. Top with raspberries and dot with butter.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out remaining piece of dough to a 15-by-12-inch rectangle; drape over filling. Fold edge of bottom dough over top dough. Pinch edges to seal. Using a sharp knife, make slits in the dough to create a star shape, to allow steam to escape. Chill for 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg and heavy cream. Brush top of crust with egg mixture and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Transfer to oven and bake until crust is deep brown, 65 to 75 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting and serving.

APPLE CRANBERRY SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a food processor, briefly pulse together flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture forms chickpea-size pieces. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until mixture is just moist enough to hold together. Form dough into two balls, one about 2/3 of dough and the other the remaining 1/3 of dough. Wrap each with plastic and flatten into disks. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 2 days before rolling out and baking.
• Lightly flour a work surface and remove the plastic wrap from the larger dough ball. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough ball to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle, dusting with flour if dough sticks. (Leave smaller dough ball in the fridge.) Transfer rolled-out dough to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Carefully line the pan with dough, pressing it into bottom of pan and completely up the sides. Crimp the top edges. Chill dough in fridge until ready to fill.
• Roll out remaining dough ball to a 10-by-13-inch rectangle, dusting with flour if dough is sticking. Using a decorative cookie cutter (like apples, leaves or hearts), cut out dough shapes. Reroll scraps if necessary to use up as much dough as possible. Transfer cutouts to a small baking sheet. Return baking pan and sheet to refrigerator to chill while you prepare filling.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange a wire rack in the lowest position in the oven. Place a large rimmed baking sheet on the floor of the oven to preheat.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, maple syrup, cranberries, tapioca, rum, lemon zest and juice, ginger, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Let mixture stand 10 minutes. Pour filling into bottom pie crust and dot with 2 tablespoons diced butter. Arrange dough cutouts on top of apple mixture, overlapping it slightly and making sure several cutout edges touch sides of pan. Whisk together egg and cream. Brush over crust; sprinkle with Demerara sugar.
• Move rimmed baking sheet from oven floor to lowest rack. Place pie pan on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Continue baking until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling thickly, 40 to 60 minutes longer. Loosely tent top of pie with foil if crust browns before filling is ready. Transfer pie to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

• In a large bowl, combine apples, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons flour, sugar and cinnamon. Pour filling into pie crust and dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
• In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2/3 cup brown sugar and 2/3 cup butter. Cut in the butter until crumbly, then sprinkle over apples.

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining disk of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into a 12-inch round. Drape over filling. Trim overhang to 1 inch. Press edges to seal. Fold overhang under, and crimp as desired. Make five 3-inch slits in top crust. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolk and cream in a bowl; brush over top crust. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until crust is golden and juices are bubbling, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Place foil on rack below to catch juices. Tent pie with foil if browning too quickly. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 4 hours (up to overnight).
