APPLE CINNAMON SLAB PIE
This apple slab pie is easy and quick to make and you don't even have to struggle with making your own dough; a store-bought puff pastry will work just fine. You can use your favorite apples for this but there's nothing quite like a caramelized, slightly tart granny smith. I should say this though; if you're serving more than 4 people, you ought to double the recipe and make 2. That's easy since a package of puff pastry comes with two sheets!

Steps:
- In a large skillet, melt 4 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add sliced apples and cook, stirring occasionally until lightly browned (6-8 min). Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Continue to simmer, stirring occassionally until apples are soft and caramelized (5 min).
- Lightly dust a sheet of parchment paper with flour. Place your thawed puff pastry dough over it and roll it out slightly to flatten the top (9 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches). Cut puff pastry dough in half down the center to make two pieces (each 4 3/4 x 10 1/2 inches)
- Arrange apples in a tight row lengthwise down the middle of one puff pastry sheet leaving a one inch border on all sides. Pour remaining syrup from the apples over the top of the apples. Brush your beaten egg around the edges of your pastry. Top with the second pastry sheet and press down on the edges to seal.
- Cut 6 (1-inch wide) slits down the center of your pastry to create vents.
- Brush the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle the top generously with coarse sugar. Bake at 400˚F for 15-17 min or until top is golden brown.

Preheat oven to 425 with a rack in lower third and a foil lined baking sheet on the rack below. In a large bowl, toss together apples, lemon juice, sugar, flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and vanilla. Fill piecrust with apple mixture and dot with butter. Cut dough log into 1/4" slices. You'll need 63 slices. Arrange slices over apple mixture, slightly overlapping in 9 rows of 7. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Brush top of pie with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar or cinnamon sugar. Bake until top crust is just set, 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 and continue baking until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Slice the apples thinly and evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will make it easier to handle and prevent it from sticking to your work surface.
- Brush the edges of the dough with water before sealing it: This will help the dough seal properly and prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven: This will help the crust brown evenly and prevent the filling from bubbling over.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing it: This will help the filling set and prevent it from becoming runny.
