How to Make Sheet Cake Apple Pie

  1. **Make the Crust:** In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and 1/2 cup ice water. Mix until a dough forms.
  2. **Chill the Dough:** Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. **Prepare the Crust:** Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half on a lightly floured surface and place it into a large baking sheet (approximately 18x13 inches).
  4. **Make the Filling:** In a separate bowl, combine 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced), 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  5. **Assemble the Pie:** Spread the apple filling evenly over the rolled-out dough.
  6. **Add Butter:** Dot the filling with 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  7. **Top Crust:** Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal.
  8. **Cut Vents:** Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  9. **Egg Wash:** In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg white with a fork. Brush the egg wash over the top crust.
  10. **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. **Make the Glaze:** While the pie is still hot, whisk together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, and 2-3 tablespoons milk until smooth and pourable.
  12. **Glaze and Serve:** Pour the glaze over the warm pie and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
