I am grumpy today.
Like, for real, get out of my face, don’t even look at me, why are you breathing in my direction grumpy.
It’s probably my husband’s fault. Most things are.
So, rather than shout at you (I mean, geeze, you guys, do you have to LOOK AT ME with your eyeballs like that? Ugh.), I’ll just get straight to the recipe.
Raspberry Slab Pie. It’s a thing. You should probably make it happen in your house sometime this summer while the berries are cheap and the summer-y foods are still happenin’. This would be awesome for a cookout. It makes a lot, it’s pretty easy, and it just sounds fun.
The dough is a bit different than a regular pie crust, in my opinion. It was a bit chewier. Still yummy, just not straight up pie. The filling is sweet and tart and sorta perfect.
Just make this. Don’t make me tell you again. Ya jerks.
I’ll be back tomorrow and maybe I’ll even be friendly and cheerful again. We’ll see.
Raspberry Slab Pie
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 3 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter cold, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup milk plus more as needed
- 1 large egg yolk
For the filling:
- 6 cups fresh raspberries
- Juice of half of a lemon
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
To make the dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and cut in the butter until you have small, pea sized chunks. Whisk together the milk and egg yolk. Slowly pour in the milk and yolk and mix together with your hands until just combined. Your dough will be slightly sticky. Add another tablespoon or two of milk, as needed.
- Separate into two dough balls, one slightly larger than the other. Flatten into a rectangle with your hands, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
For the filling:
- Mix together all of the ingredients gently in a medium bowl.
To assemble:
- Roll out the larger portion of dough on a well floured work surface until it is 16x11 inches. Transfer to a 15x10x1 jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper.
- Spoon the filling onto the pastry.
- Roll out the remaining dough to 15x10 inches and transfer to the pan. Fold over the edges to seal.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling. It's not a bad idea to place some foil underneath the pan in case any filling bubbles over.
- Cool completely.
To make the icing:
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla. Add more cream as needed to get the consistency you prefer.
- Pour the glaze into a ziploc bag and snip off one corner (or just use a spoon) and drizzle the icing over the cooled pie.
- Cut into squares and serve.

OOPS… I mean laugh ….

Hope you had some of the pie to cheer you up. If that doesn’t work, have some brownies .. that usually works. If not, I’d resort to just plain chocolate. It’s known to chemically induce euphoria. If that STILL doesn’t work, take a couple extra strength tylenols and look at that picture of your hubby and try not to augh ….
Becca says
Good grief Charlie Brown! I think you should take that grumpy face of
yours and throw it right into that entire slab pie. How can something that
sweet NOT cheer you up?!
Joanne says
I feel like with a whole slab of pie I get to eat bigger pieces. Which is always a happiness-inducing good thing!
sally @ sally's baking addiction says
Agreed w/ Averie – not as fussy as pie. I love desserts in bar form, they are so much easier to handle and serve! Slab pie.. I love it! Cherry is my fave too.
Jess Wakasugi {Life's Simple Measures} says
What a wonderful summertime treat! I absolutely love pie, so I can’t wait to try this out with some local produce. Pinned!
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel says
A non-fussy pie has the power to move a thousand mountains and cure any grumpy ‘tude. I think I saw that on a bumper sticker somewhere…
Forrreals though, raspberries are my fave fruit and I’m known to pick all the crust off my pies, so the more crust, the bettah! Hope you feel better!

This might actually be a pie I can make.
Also, you asked me a while back about a certain font… I think it is called “simply glamorous” ๐
Karly says
@shelly (cookies and cups),
Thank you! I don’t remember what it looks like, but I remember that I loved it! ๐
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
