VERY Deep Dish Apple Pie...?

I was at Disneyland the other day and saw in one of their restaurants that they had an amazing looking deep dish apple pie. The thing must've been at least 4" thick. It was very impressive looking. So, I decided that I HAD to make a pie that looked like that. I bought up a bunch of apples last week since I knew I was going to want to be making apple pies soon, so the timing was perfect. Here's my dilemma:

Where can I buy a VERY deep dis for the pie? I don't mean those "deep dish" pie plates that Pyrex sells that are like, 2 inches deep. This is seriously impressive so I need a serious piece of bakeware with a very high side. I saw that Martha Stewart has a new line of items at Macy's and since there's a Macy's nearby, I thought I might try that but couldn't find the dimensions on any website. Does anyone have any other ideas or tips about making this mammoth pie? I'm very excited about it.

TIA!

I would use my springform pan. If you need more of a lip for the crust roll up a rope of tin foil and smoosh it around the rim of the pan. I usually find it works just fine without the tin foil. You might have to use low oven temp or saute the apples before filling the crust tomake sure they get cooked before the crust gets too brown. Good luck
