Need to feed a crowd for Thanksgiving? If so, you will love these slab pies. Think sheet cake but in the form of a pie! I love that you can have enough to feed your guests without having to make a bunch of pies.
Traditional Pies Turned Into Slab Pies
In this post I have you covered for the traditional pumpkin, pecan and apple pies. Check these recipes out for your Thanksgiving dessert. These recipes yield 12 – 24 servings per slab pie. If you aren’t having quite that many, lucky you! Who doesn’t like leftover pie?
Pumpkin Slab Pie
If pumpkin pie is your thing, head on over to Sally’s Baking Addiction for this festive Pumpkin Slab Pie recipe. I love how she dressed up the pie with pie crust cutouts. This pie serves 24.
Pecan Slab Pie
Taste of the South shared a recipe for a Pecan Slab Pie with a touch of chocolate. Would love a piece of this with a cup of hot coffee! Doesn’t it look delicious? The recipe says it yields 12 servings.
Apple Slab Pie
If you prefer the all American classic apple pie, make it for a crowd with this easier slab pie version by Pillsbury. It has a streusel-like topping and serves 15.
Homemade Whipped Cream
For me, whipped cream is a must for both pumpkin and pecan pie.
In my post 8 Whipped Cream and Frosting Recipes, I share a great recipe from Erren’s Kitchen for whipped cream that will hold it’s shape for days. Since you can make it in advance, it’s ideal for the holidays.
What kind of pie does your family traditionally serve for Thanksgiving? Have you tried making a slab pie yet?
