It starts with Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust, so no labor- or time-intensive mixing and kneading is required! The rest of the ingredients are super-simple too, with the recipe taking just 20 minutes of prep work. The pie is made in a 15-by-10-by-1-inch pan so it’s ideal for feeding a crowd.

Slab pies are also appreciated for what many pie lovers see as the ideal crust-to-filling ratio. To make for an especially impressive crust, you can still crimp the crust as you would with a traditional pie for a pretty presentation.

Pillsbury suggests the pie be made up to a day in advance of your event. Simply cover and refrigerate. Later, it would be great served with whipped cream or à la mode with vanilla ice cream. Use a fine strainer to sprinkle pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top.
