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.

APPLE CINNAMON SLAB PIE



Apple Cinnamon Slab Pie image

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!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb 2 large apples (I used granny smith apples), peeled, cored and cut into 1/3" slices
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 sheet (8 or 9 oz frozen puff pastry, thawed (I used Pepperridge Farms))
All purpose flour for dusting
1 egg (lightly beaten for egg wash)
Coarse sugar for sprinkling (I used raw sugar)

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.

Tips:

  • For a flakier crust, use a combination of butter and shortening.
  • Keep the butter and shortening very cold when making the crust. This will help to create a more flaky crust.
  • Be sure to 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. If you press too hard, the dough will become tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky to work with, add a little more flour. Be careful not to add too much flour, or the dough will become dry and crumbly.
  • When filling the pie, be sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges. This will help to prevent the filling from bubbling over.
  • Bake the pie for the amount of time specified in the recipe. If you bake it for too long, the crust will become dry and the filling will be overcooked.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help to set the filling and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon swirl apple slab pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
