Need a dessert recipe that will put a smile on everyone's face? Cherry Slab Pie recipe is the perfect solution! Designed to serve 12, this delightful treat combines the sweet-tart flavor of cherry pie filling with a flaky, buttery crust, making it an ideal choice for parties, potlucks, or family gatherings.
After I made my Cherry Vanilla Pie Filling I knew I had to make a cherry slab pie for dessert.
Have you ever made a Slab Pie recipe? I've never made one either. Just the name is a bit daunting. I've never made one before because they are huge! I love me some pie but unless I am having 30 people over I need pie for a smaller number of people.
I can't believe I just said that! How can you ever have too much pie?
To make a sheet pan pie that is a family friendly size I used a9 x 13 inch quarter sheet baking pan. This size makes just enough for everyone to enjoy a slice and only a few servings are leftover.
This recipe features an a pie crust made with a combination of all-purpose flour and almond meal. Cherry and almond are the perfect flavor combo with desserts like my Cherry Cake Bars and Peach Slab Pie.
I happen to have a few of these aluminum quarter sheet pans and they come in very handy. I use this size pan all the time.
This size is perfect for the average family. If you love berries you can try this Triple Berry Slab Pie next.
