6–8 tbsp ice water

🧑🍳 Instructions
1. Make the crust (or prep store-bought):
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar.
-
Cut in butter using a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Slowly add ice water, mixing just until dough comes together.
-
Divide dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
2. Prepare the filling:
-
In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt.
-
Toss until apples are well coated.
3. Assemble the slab pie:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Roll out one dough disc to fit a 10×15-inch rimmed baking sheet (aka jelly roll pan).
-
Transfer to the pan, pressing gently into corners.
-
Spread apple filling evenly over crust.
-
Roll out second dough disc and place over apples. Crimp edges to seal. Cut slits in top for steam to escape.
-
Optional: Brush top with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
4. Bake:
-
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
-
Let cool at least 30 minutes.
5. Glaze:

Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
