Serves a crowd?? Can the recipe be doubled or tripled to accommodate a larger size pie? Slab pie, maybe?
I have made the recipe as written and it was awesome! I am heading to a BBQ next week and would like to make it on a bigger scale. Could the recipe be doubled or tripled and made into a slab pie? If possible, how would the ingredient amounts and baking time change?

Here are a few tips.
Compare the volume of the sheet pan to that of the pan you usually use for one recipe. (length x width x height for sheet pan; pi x radius squared x height for round cake or pie pan). Then use that figure to multiply the recipe.
Tips for baking - usually crust may take a bit longer than in 1x recipe, and filling will likely be shallower. If you want more ideas, search for "lemon custard slab pie" and you'll find several recipes, which you can then apply to the Atlantic Beach pie.
There may be leftover filling and/or crust - if yes, make a mini pie for home use.
PS - if you don’t want to do the math about pan volume, you could use a chart that gives volume by cups for common pan sizes. See: Allrecipes, Sally’s baking, King Arthur flour.
