Crumb-Topped Apple Slab Pie

-makes 25 servings-

Ingredients

Pie
2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup butter-flavored shortening
8-10 Tbsp cold water
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 1/2 lbs tart-cooking apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices (10 cups)

Crumb Topping
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup pecans

Directions

1. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with 18-inch wide foil, extending the foil up over the edges of the pan; set aside.
2. For dough: In a large bowl, stir together the 2 1/4 cups flour and the salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cold water over part of the flour mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to side of the bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon cold water at a time, until all of the flour mixture is moistened. Using your fingers, gently knead the dough just until a ball forms.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 19x13-inch rectangle. Wrap it around the rolling pin; unroll it into the prepared baking pan. Ease dough into the pan and up the sides, being careful not to stretch it. Trim dough to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pan. Fold dough edge over and flute as desired.
4. In an extra-large bowl, combine sugar, the 1/3 cup flour, and the cinnamon; add apples. Toss lightly until apples are coated. Spoon apple mixture into dough-lined pan; spread evenly.
5. For crumb topping: In a large bowl, stir together quick-cooking rolled oats, packed brown sugar, and flour. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until topping mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in chopped pecans. Sprinkle crumb topping over pie (pan will be full).
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until apples are tender. If necessary to prevent overbrowning, cover top with foil for the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Cool slightly in pan on a wire rack.
7. Serve warm or cool completely. Cut into rectangles.

Stay Classy.
