This style of pie really has been around for years and my mom made it quite often in the 1940s called sheet pan pie which is also known as "slab pie" during the fall apple season she made this often.
Our slab pie recipe is easier than a traditional pie, it's rolled into any shape you want as long as it fits in the style pan you choose to use you can make it all apple or add raisins, nuts, and other fruits we just love this style pie.
I seriously thought this combination of fruit wouldn't work as well as it did and then after that first bite I just loved how the berries with cinnamon complimented the apples.
Of course, if you're not a fan of blueberry, we've also tried bing cherries, raspberries, and even some mango as an addition you can check below for some other suggestions.
If you're in a hurry of course and don't want to make homemade everything, then you can just use canned apple pie filling and some fresh berries along with store-bought pie crust, just remember to use a rectangular style pan for slab pies.
If you're a pie fan you may also like to try our No-Bake Pineapple Fluff Pie or scroll through our Pie Roundup of Recipes.
This recipe is easier than a regular pie especially if you just make a criss-cross lattice crust on top, fast, simple easy you decide on semi-homemade or homemade and how your lifestyle fits in making this dessert.

Slab Pies
Slab pie is simple to make and it reminds me of a largely fruit-filled frosted pop tart but much easier than cutting and filling those delicious breakfast treats individually.
I love the extra drizzle of frosting on top, it looks nice and gives it that extra sheen on top.
Remember you can use just about any sheet pan, the idea is to cut them into squares and the filling isn't as deep a dish as a regular pie.
Apple pie is rated the number one most loved pie in America and we just adapted it to a new level here today!
