Blueberry Crumble Slab Pie Food

BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400° F. Place both pie crusts in half-sheet pan, overlapping slightly. Fit into pan, pressing into corners. Trim edges to about 1/2 inch overhanging sides of pan, then fold over and tuck into pan.
• In large bowl, toss Filling ingredients. Dump into crust.
• In small bowl, mix Topping ingredients with fork. Use fingers to form olive-sized chunks of topping. Scatter over top of filling.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until topping is golden and blueberry filling is bubbling. Cool slightly. If desired, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

BLUEBERRY SLAB PIE

Steps:

• In a large, flat-bottomed bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter cubes and toss to coat with the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour; do not smash or smear the butter. Scrape butter off the pastry blender during the mixing process and continue mixing. (If butter is softening too fast, put the bowl in the refrigerator until butter firms up, 2-5 minutes.) Continue cutting, working quickly, until butter is broken down and looks like a coarse crumble with only a few larger pieces.
• Combine vinegar with water and ice; you'll use up to 1½ cups of this liquid in the pie dough, a tablespoon at a time. Begin by sprinkling about 8 tablespoons of liquid over the flour mixture; use a bench scraper or your hands to incorporate until the mixture begins to come together. Sprinkle in 8 more tablespoons of liquid and continue the mixing process. Squeeze a fistful of dough: if it holds, like wet sand, it's ready. If it falls apart, add 1-2 more tablespoons of liquid at a time, squeezing the dough to check if it holds. Bring all the dough together, sprinkling dry bits with more small drops of liquid as necessary; dough will look shaggy. Knead in the bowl just until incorporated.
• Turn dough onto a work surface and use a bench scraper to divide dough into two equal pieces. Shape into flat disks and wrap in plastic; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight. Dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and frozen up to 1 month, tightly wrapped.
• Generously butter a baking sheet and line with parchment paper. Dust a large work surface and tapered French rolling pin with flour. Roll out 1 disc of chilled pie dough into a rectangle by rolling it in an "X," diagonally, for even stretching. (If dough is softening too fast at any point in the rolling process, chill in the refrigerator until firm, 2-5 minutes.) Once the dough has been thinned out, switch to a straight French rolling pin and continue rolling the dough until it's a rectangle of even thickness, 3-4 inches larger than the baking sheet. Fit the dough into the baking sheet by gently folding in half, then in half again. Align the creases squarely in the middle of the pan, then unfold the dough so it's centered in the pan. There should be a 1-inch dough overhang on all sides. (If necessary, it's okay to stretch the dough gently.) Repeat the rolling and shaping process with top crust dough to a 17" x 13" rectangle. Invert a rimmed baking sheet and spread the dough on top. Refrigerate both sheets while assembling the filling, 20 minutes.
• Filling: Taste your blueberries first. They can vary from really sweet to really tart which will affect how much sugar is added; add or take out up to ¼ cup sugar to adjust sweetness. In a small bowl, mix shredded apple with lemon juice. In a large bowl, combine both sugars, Angostura bitters, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, salt, and ground arrowroot. Add the blueberries, crushing about half of them with your hands; mix well to combine, making sure no spices remain at the bottom of the bowl.
• Preheat oven to 425 F. Remove the chilled dough sheets; set the top dough aside. Transfer the filling into the dough-lined baking sheet, patting it down to make sure there are no gaps. Use the round pastry cutter to punch random holes into the top dough, 2-3 inches apart, to create a polka dot effect; don't get too close to the edges. (Save the pastry circles to make crust cookies!) Place the top dough sheet squarely over the filling, then seal the top and bottom crusts by tucking and pinching excess dough under the bottom crust. Seal again by pressing circumference of crust with your thumbs.
• Brush egg wash evenly over the top crust, and sprinkle with raw sugar. Pie will bake for a total of 1 hour. Bake on the lowest rack of the oven until crust is set and beginning to brown, 20-25 minutes. Lower heat to 375 F, move the pie to the center oven rack, and continue to bake until crust is a deep golden brown and juices are bubbling throughout, about 30-35 minutes longer. Allow pie to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into it, 1-2 hours. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup flour, water and lemon juice; set aside. In a large bowl, combine sugar, salt and remaining flour; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add flour mixture, tossing with a fork until moistened. , On a piece of plastic wrap, press dough into a 4-in. circle. Cover with a second sheet of plastic wrap; roll into 12-in. circle. Freeze for 10 minutes. Let stand for 1 minute; remove plastic wrap. , Transfer pastry to pie plate; trim to 1/2-in. beyond edge of plate. Flute edges. Prick bottom and sides of pastry with a fork. Line shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 375° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. , Place blueberries in crust. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, brown sugar, flour, vanilla and lemon zest; spread over blueberries. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter; sprinkle over yogurt mixture. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until crumbs are lightly browned and filling is bubbly.

BLUEBERRY SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Make crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, salt, and sugar until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. With machine running, add 1 cup ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time). Do not overmix. Divide dough into 2 disks; wrap each tightly in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make filling: In a large bowl, toss together blueberries, cornstarch, sugar, and lemon zest and juice. On a floured work surface, roll out 1 disk to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Place in a 10-by-14-by-1-inch rimmed jelly-roll pan. Pour in blueberry filling, then lightly brush edges of crust with water. On floured surface, roll out second disk to an 11-by-15-inch rectangle and lay over blueberry filling; press along moistened edges to seal. Fold overhang under, tucking it into pan, and crimp edges. With a paring knife, cut slits on top to vent.
• Place pie in oven, then reduce heat to 375 degrees. Bake until crust is golden and juices are bubbling, 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BLUEBERRY-RHUBARB SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the pastry: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is the texture of coarse sand with some larger pieces of butter. Drizzle in 1/3 cup ice water and pulse the mixture about 5 times or until the mixture is crumbly, but evenly moistened and holds together when you squeeze a bit in your hands. Add up to 3 more tablespoons ice water, but stop before the mixture becomes too wet.
• Tip the mixture out onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap, press the crumbs together. Divide the dough into thirds; tightly wrap one portion in plastic wrap, then combine the other two portions and wrap that larger piece of dough well in plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin to press both dough portions into two flat rectangles. Chill for at least 2 hours. (You can chill dough for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze it for up to 3 months.)
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling: In a small saucepan, combine the rhubarb, 3 cups blueberries, the maple syrup and salt. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has started to break down and the blueberries have started to release some of their juices, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer a few tablespoons of the liquid from the saucepan to a small bowl. Add the cornstarch and whisk until dissolved. Return the cornstarch mixture to the pan and cook, stirring, until the blueberry mixture has thickened, 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups blueberries and the ginger. Let this mixture cool completely.
• On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll the larger portion of dough into an 11-by-13-inch rectangle. Trim the edges into straight lines. Transfer the parchment with the dough to a rimmed baking sheet. Roll the smaller portion of dough out to a 7-by-15-inch rectangle on a floured piece of parchment. Using a fluted pastry wheel or a sharp knife, cut the dough lengthwise into seven 1-inch-thick strips.
• Spread the filling over the uncut rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Lay the strips of pastry over the filling on the diagonal, spacing the strips about 1/2 inch apart. Trim the strips so that they are even with the edge of the rectangle. Fold the edges up and over the filling and the strips and press the corners to seal. (Press with the tines of a fork, if desired.) Wrap lightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 30 minutes (and up to 2 hours).
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Using the parchment, transfer the chilled pie to another rimmed baking sheet. (You don't want to bake it on the cold sheet.) Brush the beaten egg all over the pastry and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Bake until the pastry is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling in spots, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer pan to rack to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
