Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups butter, frozen
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vodka

Apple Filling:

  • 6 cups Golden Delicious apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch

Pecan Filling:

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped

Pumpkin Filling:

  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)


Instructions

  1. Make the dough by stirring the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Using a box grater, grate the frozen butter directly into the flour. Toss to coat the shredded butter with the flour. Tip in the water and vodka and stir to hydrate the dough. Use your hand to lightly knead and help the dough come together.
  2. Pinch off ⅔ cup of dough and set it aside. Roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle to fit an 18x13 rimmed sheet pan. Trim to fit the pan. Save trimmings and add to reserved dough.
  3. Roll out reserved dough to ¼-inch thickness. Cut two strips approximately 13 inches by 1 inch to use as dividers. Cut the remaining dough into 1-inch strips to use as a lattice for the apple pie. You can also just leave the dough as is if you don’t want to do a lattice.
  4. Preheat the oven to 425F/218C. Place the rack in the middle position.
  5. Place the divider strips in the sheet pan to make three equal-sized sections and press into place. Cover each section with parchment paper and fill each with pie weights or dried beans. Be sure the beans are one layer and evenly distributed to keep the dough from puffing up, especially in the area next to the two dividers.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven. Remove the beans and parchment paper, then put the pie back in the oven for another 5 to 7 minutes. Set the crust aside to cool, then lower the oven temperature to 350F/176C.
  7. Make the apple filling by tossing together the apples and lemon juice. Pour into a large pan over medium heat and sauté for 5-ish minutes. Sprinkle the sugar, salt, and cinnamon over the apples and stir to combine. Sprinkle on the flour and cornstarch and stir. Continue to cook on medium heat until the apples are soft and a loose glaze has formed. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Once the filling is cool, carefully spoon it into one of the crust sections. Arrange the reserved dough strips on top to make a lattice pattern.
  8. Make the pecan filling by melting the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Tip in the brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt then stir together. Add in the eggs and whisk until smooth. Scatter the pecans onto one of the crust sections in an even layer. Slowly pour the liquid filling over the pecans until it almost reaches the edge. You may have a few tablespoons of filling left over.
  9. Make the pumpkin filling by combining the pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a bowl. Stir until smooth, then slowly whisk in the milk. Pour the filling into one of the crust sections until it almost reaches the edge. Again, you may have a few tablespoons of filling left.
  10. Carefully move the sheet pan to the oven. It will be heavy! Bake at 350F/176C for 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3 hours or more before slicing and serving.
  11. There are a few ways to slice the slab. I chose to cut triangular pieces in each section and got between 8 and 10 slices per flavor. The sections could also be cut into squares or rectangles.
