Slab Pie for the Fourth of July
June 28, 2009 
When you need a dessert for a lot of people, this is it. This beautiful pie is baked in a rimmed sheet pan and serves at least 12 people. It's perfect for the Fourth of July because cherries are in season right now. If you have even more people to feed,you can even make two pies - one with cherries and one with blueberries for a real Fourth of July look.
Don't be scared of making this pie dough from scratch. When I say it is easy, it is very easy - if you have a food processor. I can make pie dough in under one minute in my food processor. All you do is throw in the dry ingredients, pulse, put the butter through the feed tube, pulse, and then add the water and pulse until it all comes together in a ball. Done.
