12 Sheet Pan Desserts to Feed a Family

Posted on December 7, 2018 by Food Network Canada Editors

If you think all pies need to be round, it’s time to think outside the box… or the circle. Slab pies and cheesecakes have all the sweet or savoury goodness of their well-rounded counterparts in a more angular form. Baked in square or sheet pans, these popular desserts are great for feeding a crowd — not to mention easier to slice up equally without needing any geometry.
