Glazed Apple Slab Pie Recipe – A Classic Dessert for Every Occasion
If you love apple desserts but want something bigger and more impressive than a traditional pie, then a Glazed Apple Slab Pie is exactly what you need. Unlike the classic round pie, this slab pie is baked in a rectangular sheet pan, which makes it perfect for family gatherings, holiday parties, potlucks, and any celebration where you need to serve a crowd. It features a buttery, flaky crust, a juicy apple filling spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, and a sweet vanilla glaze drizzled on top for the perfect finishing touch.
This recipe is not just about baking—it’s about creating a dessert that brings people together around the table.
