Directions

  8. Take the dough from the fridge and roll it out large enough to fill a 15x10x1 inch baking pan, making sure to leave a slight overhang of dough.
  9. Place the dough sheet into the pan and press down around the edges, making sure to fit it in nicely.
  10. Trim any dough around the edges.
  11. Take the apple filling and place it into the pie crust, spreading the apples out to fit evenly and covering any gaps you can see.

  13. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples and bake in the oven for about 45-50 minutes.
  14. Once the slab pie is baked, make the glaze by whisking the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together until smooth.
  15. Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the apple slab pie.
  16. Slice into small squares and serve.
