Instructions
 

Prepare the Pie Crust:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add the diced chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

      - Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.

        - Divide the dough into two halves, form them into disks, wrap in cling film, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

          Make the Apple Filling:

            - In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour until well combined. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld and the apples to release their juices.

              Preheat the Oven:

                - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

                  Roll Out the Dough:

                    - On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a rectangle large enough to fit a 15x10-inch baking sheet. Transfer to the baking sheet, pressing the dough into the corners.

                      Fill the Pie:

                        - Pour the prepared apple filling over the rolled-out dough, spreading it evenly. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.

                          Add the Second Layer:

                            - Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the apple filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

                              Brush with Egg Wash:

                                - In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over the top crust for a shiny finish.

                                  Bake:

                                    - Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

                                      Cool and Serve:

                                        - Remove from the oven and let the slab pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This will help the filling set up a bit more.
