CINNAMON-SWIRL APPLE SLAB PIE



Cinnamon-Swirl Apple Slab Pie image

This fun, cinnamon-scented twist on apple pie can feed a crowd while wow-ing them at the same time. The same homemade pie dough forms both the base crust and the topping-the magic happens when a sweetened cinnamon-butter is spread on half of the dough and rolled up like a log and chilled. Once sliced into swirly rounds, they're shingled on top of the baking sheet of spiced apples and baked until golden brown and bubbly. You can find a step-by-step photo guide to assembling the top crust here.

Time 3h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 recipes Test Kitchen's Favorite Pate Brisee, each shaped into a rectangular disk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus 2 tablespoons, refrigerated and cut into small cubes
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 pounds assorted apples, such as Jonagold, Cortland, Granny Smith, and Empire, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll one disk of dough into a 12-by-17-inch rectangle. Transfer crust to a 10 1/2-by-15 1/4-inch rimmed baking sheet or jelly-roll pan and press into bottom edges and up sides. Fold overhang under and around edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine room-temperature butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll second disk of dough into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Evenly spread butter mixture over dough all the way to ends, then, starting at a long edge, tightly roll into a log. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees with a rack in lower third and a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack below. In a large bowl, toss together apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and vanilla. Fill piecrust with apple mixture and dot with cold butter.
  • Cut dough log into 1/4-inch slices, rotating with each slice to keep slices round. (You'll need 63 slices total.) Arrange slices over apple mixture, slightly overlapping, in nine rows of seven. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Brush top of pie with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until top crust is just set, 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees and continue baking until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Slab pie tastes best the day it's made.

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Butter provides flavor, while shortening helps to create a tender crust.
  • Work the butter and shortening into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Do not overmix, as this will result in a tough crust.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of ice water. If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon or two of flour.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Roll the dough from the center outward, working your way to the edges.
  • To prevent the edges of the pie crust from burning, brush them with milk or egg wash before baking.
  • For a golden brown crust, bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

Cinnamon swirl apple pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet and tangy filling, and irresistible cinnamon swirl, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips to make the best cinnamon swirl apple pie you've ever tasted.
