Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (188 g)
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 9 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into 15 pieces
  • ¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons sour cream (90 g)

Apple Slab Pie Filling

  • 1 pie crust dough
  • 3 lbs Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and diced into ¼" pieces
  • ¼ cup sugar (50 g)
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar (50 g) tightly packed
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (30 g)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Topping:

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (95 g)
  • cup chopped walnuts
  • ½ cup light brown sugar (100 g) tightly packed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 Tbsp cold unsalted butter cut into 12 pieces

Instructions
 

  • Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food process. Pulse briefly to blend ingredients.
  • Scatter butter pieces evenly over the top of the mixture and pulse until coarse crumbs form.
  • Add sour cream and pulse again until the mixture begins to clump together.
  • Remove the dough from the food processor (be careful of the blade!) and use your hands to form it into a flat disc. Wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375F (190C) and begin preparing your filling and topping.
  • Prepare your filling by combining diced apples, sugars, flour, cinnamon, allspice and lemon juice in a large bowl. Stir until well-combined and set aside.
  • Combine the flour, walnuts, brown sugar, and salt in the clean canister of your food processor and briefly pulse to combine.
  • Sprinkle butter over the mixture and pulse until ingredients are beginning to cling together. Set aside.
  • Once your pie dough has chilled, remove from the refrigerator and place on a clean, lightly floured surface. Dust the dough with flour and roll out to be slightly larger than your jelly roll pan (I usually aim for slightly larger than a 13x18" rectangle and trim the edges to make a neat rectangle).
  • Transfer rolled out dough to your jelly roll pan and make sure pie crust lies flat along the bottom of the pan and goes up the sides of the pan.
  • Give your apples that have been waiting a good stir and then evenly pour into pie dough-lined pan.
  • Top with prepared walnut crumble by using your hands to evenly sprinkle over apple filling.
  • Transfer to oven and bake on 375F (190C) for 50-55 minutes or until top is golden brown and the apples inside are tender when pierced with a fork*. Serve warm, preferably topped with vanilla ice cream!
