Hi PJ, I was *JUST* thinking about Apple Slab. I have my mother's recipe and this was a staple at our house when I was a kid. I thought maybe with the apples this fall I would give it a go. I have no idea if Apple Slab is a regional dessert or not, but in case it helps, she is from South Milwaukee, WI. In her version, there are no breadcrumbs to speak of, and the icing is the usual powder sugar/milk mix that is drizzled generously throughout, with about 40% of the pie's surface still visible. She also used a jellyroll pan and crimped the edges like a usual pie. Yum! That homemade taste can't be duped! You have inspired me to give this a go. Thanks! I think my grandma used to make this, too, and she's from Wisconsin. Still, I believe Frank was from Massachusetts, so this probably isn't very regional. Thanks for checking in- PJH
