Apple Slab Pie

Using a rubber spatula, add half a cup of water until the mixture seems basically unchanged, slightly crumbly, and the butter has been chopped into tiny bits. When the dough starts to come together, it means the water has been absorbed. Keep mixing. Incorporate more water gradually until the dough starts to come together if it remains dry and crumbly. The dough should be mixed by hand until it forms a soft, somewhat loose ball. Make two somewhat larger pieces of pie dough by cutting the dough in half. The larger component is required for the base of the crust. Shape one half into a rectangle that is about 1 inch thick on top of a sheet of plastic wrap. If the dough isn’t sticking together, use the plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining dough. Allow the dough to cool in the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours before to its use.
