A traditional slice of pie makes poor finger food, but a slab pie is meant to be taken in hand and eaten. Typically made with an apple filling, our version uses sour cherries instead, although it also works well with blueberries.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. If using frozen cherries, defrost and drain. In a large bowl, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Stir to combine; set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger piece of dough into an 18-by-12-inch rectangle. Transfer to a 15-by-10-by-1-inch rimmed baking sheet, (pastry will hang over sides of pan). Pour cherry mixture into lined baking sheet; set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining piece of dough into a 16-by-11-inch rectangle. Drape over filling. Bring bottom pastry up and over top pastry. Pinch edges to seal. Using a fork, prick top crust all over. Brush with heavy cream.
- Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 40 to 55 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack until just warm to the touch, about 45 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar and milk until desired glaze consistency is achieved. Use a spoon to drizzle over top. Serve warm or room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press the bottom pie crusts into 2 pie pans.
- Combine cherries, 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Let sit until sugar begins to draw out the cherries' juices, about 10 minutes. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat; simmer until the juices thicken and become translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter and almond extract until well mixed. Pour into the bottom half of the pie shells. Cover with top crusts, crimp the edges to seal, and cut vents into the top with a sharp knife.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 45 to 55 minutes.

Tips:
- Use cold butter: This will help to create a flaky crust. You can also freeze the butter for 30 minutes before grating it.
- Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Work it just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough: This will help to create clean edges.
- Brush the edges of the dough with egg wash before baking: This will help to seal the edges and prevent them from drying out.
- Bake the dough until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the crust is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Pâte brisée is a versatile dough that can be used for a variety of pies and tarts. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time. With a little practice, you can master the art of making pâte brisée and create delicious, flaky pastries that your friends and family will love.
