Slab Apple Pie

From Robin Smith
I got this recipe from my dear friend Rosemary Luque. It is a family favorite and serves a small crowd.

Slab Apple Pie

Crust:

2 ¾ c flour

1 ½ t salt

¾ butter

¾ shortening

2 egg yolks (beaten) with milk to make 1 cup

Mix flour, salt, and fats first and then add milk and eggs quickly – don’t over mix. It will be a little sticky – use flour to roll out.

Filling:

1 ½ c sugar

1 t cinnamon

2 T flour

4 T instant tapioca

8-10 sliced tart apples (granny smith)

Put half pie crust in bottom of 11x17 inch pan. Roll it even like a pie crust. Brush with mixture of 2 egg whites and 1 t water. Spread apple mix on top of crust and top with remaining crust. Cut vents into top crust and paint with egg white mix. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze.
