Slab Pie’s are a great way to use up excess blueberries or other fresh summer fruit you don’t know what to do with. A full sheet pan is sometimes too much food, and a quarter sheet pan is just right.

Perfect for a small gathering or the family to enjoy… plus some leftover for breakfast the next day.

What Is Slab Pie?

If you've never made a slab pie before, you're in for a treat. Think of it as the laid-back cousin of the classic round pie. Instead of a circular pie dish, a slab pie is baked in a sheet pan, making it easier to cut into squares and serve a crowd. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, or any gathering where one slice just won’t be enough.
