Mark's Story:
My wife's workplace was having everyone bring a dish for homecoming week. One of the items on the list was an Apple Slab Pie. Trish asked me what an Apple Slab Pie was. I had to look it up. I explained what it was. At first Trish told me that she would find something easier. I kept reading over different recipes, and I told her that I could do this. So, I made a batch. I did not get to sample it. Trish texted me the next day telling me that everyone at work loved it. Now, I need to make another batch for us to enjoy at home.
Mark's Notes:
The recipe I used comes from Allrecipes.com. Although the way they listed the ingredients was confusing as to when those ingredients would be used for which layer. The way I split it out makes more sense to me.
