Four Flavor Sheet Pan Pie Recipes

FOUR-FLAVOR SHEET PAN COBBLER

Steps:

• For the Apple Granola Crumble: Toss together the apples, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and salt in a large bowl until the apples are completely coated. Add the granola, butter, remaining 2 tablespoons flour, remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon to a small bowl. Use the back of the spoon to smash the butter into the dry ingredients until completely combined and the mixture resembles wet sand. Set both aside until ready to assemble.
• For the Peach Cobbler: Toss together the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, orange zest and salt in a large bowl until completely coated and no lumps of flour or sugar remain. Set aside until ready to assemble.
• For the Mixed Berry Walnut Streusel: Toss together the berries, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, 1/2 cup sugar and salt in a large bowl until completely coated. Place granola in a large resealable plastic bag and smash with a rolling pin or a small skillet until finely ground. Transfer to a small bowl and add the butter, flour and remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Use the back of the spoon to smash the butter into the dry ingredients until completely combined and the mixture resembles wet sand. Stir in the walnuts. Set both aside until ready to assemble.
• For the Strawberry-Rhubarb Cobbler: Toss together the strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, light brown sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until completely coated. Set aside until ready to assemble.
• For the Cobbler Dough: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the cream and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Gather into a ball and set aside until ready to assemble.
• Assemble the Cobbler: Position a rack on the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Position a 13-by-18-by-1-inch rimmed baking sheet with the long side facing you. Imagine the baking sheet is divided into 4 equal panels. Working quickly, scrape the apple filling into the far left-side of the baking sheet so that it fills a quarter of the baking sheet. Mound the apples on top of themselves to keep from spreading. Scrape the peaches and accumulated juices into the panel next to the apples. At this point, only half of the sheet pan should be full. Scrape the berries and accumulated juices next to the peaches. Scrape the strawberry-rhubarb mixture and accumulated juices into the remaining panel.
• Transfer the cobbler dough to a floured work surface and roll into a rectangle the about the size of a quarter of the baking sheet, roughly 12-by-4-inches. Use 1 1/2-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out 10 circles of biscuit dough. Remove the circles (keeping the remaining dough in-tact) and place them on top of the peaches. Lay the large piece of cut out dough on top of the strawberry-rhubarb section. Brush the biscuit dough with cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Top apples with the granola crumble and the berries with the walnut streusel. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown and cobbler begins to bubble, 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes before serving. Cobbler will thicken as it sits. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

SHEET PAN SLAB PIE

Steps:

• For the pear and fig filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Combine the pears, fig preserves, cornstarch, cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• For the apple cranberry filling: Place a large nonstick pot over medium heat. Add the apples, frozen cranberries, sugar and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring aggressively to burst the cranberries as they soften, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the cranberry juice and cornstarch together in a small bowl to form a slurry. Pour the slurry into the fruit and stir to combine, then cook until a thick sauce has formed, 1 minute more. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• For the blueberry filling: Combine the blueberries, honey, cornstarch and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
• For the pie: On a lightly floured surface, stack 3 rounds of pie dough, then roll out to a 20-by-15-inch rectangle. Place the rectangle on one of the parchment lined baking sheets. Use scissors to trim to a 1-inch overhang on all 4 sides and save any excess dough for later use. Place in the fridge to firm up for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stack the remaining 3 rounds of dough, then roll out to an 18-by-13-inch rectangle. Use a pizza cutter or knife to slice the rectangle lengthwise into twelve 1-inch-wide strips. Place the strips on the remaining lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until it is time to create the lattice.
• Remove the bottom crust from the refrigerator and prick in several places with the tines of a fork. Pour the blueberry filling in one corner and spread diagonally to fill a third of the pan (the fruit layers should not have a perfect edge or stopping point). Next, pour the apple cranberry filling in the middle and spread diagonally to fill another third of the pan. Finally, pour the pear and fig filling in the remaining third of the pan.
• Using a basket weave method, create a diagonal lattice on top of the pie with the remaining dough strips: Arrange 6 strips down diagonally across the pie, leaving about 2 inches between each dough strip. Fold back every other strip and place a strip down perpendicularly. Unfold the strips over them. Repeat this process with the remaining 5 strips, alternating the strips that are lifted to create a woven pattern. Press the end of each dough strip along the rim of the baking sheet and trim off any excess. Use your fingertips or the tines of a fork to crimp the crust of the pie along the rim of the pan. Brush the lattice (but not the edges) with the beaten egg.
• Bake until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.
