There is something to be said about a nice slice of pie after dinner. As far as apple pie goes, well, you just can’t get much more American than that. In fact, check out what the New York Times had to say about pie in 1902:
Pie is…the secret of our strength as a nation and the foundation of our industrial supremacy. Pie is the American synonym of prosperity. Pie is the food of the heroic. No pie-eating people can be permanently vanquished.”
This apple slab pie is very easy to make and serves a crowd. You basically make it the same way you’d make a traditional pie but it gets baked on a cookie sheet instead of a pie pan. There’s a ton of it to go around 
What I like most about this pie is that it is huge, hence the name “slab pie.”
