2000s-present - Modern American potluck bakers adapting fruit pie to sheet pans for crowds
Slab pie takes the American fruit pie and turns it into potluck architecture: more servings, easier transport, and plenty of crust. A blueberry version fits summer celebrations, church suppers, and Fourth of July tables.

Slab pie is not a different filling tradition so much as a different serving strategy. Baking pie in a rimmed sheet pan makes it easier to feed a crowd, pack for a picnic, or cut into even squares. Blueberry slab pie suits modern celebration food because the fruit reads as summer and the format is practical for parties. This version uses a double-crust sheet-pan method and a thickened blueberry filling.
