Description
A rich, creamy apple butter pie with warm spices and a smooth custard-like filling baked in a flaky pie crust—similar to pumpkin pie but with deep apple flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup apple butter
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and flute or crimp the edges.
- In a large bowl, whisk together apple butter, evaporated milk, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggly.
- Cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to firm up.
- Serve plain or with whipped cream.
Notes
- Use homemade apple butter for maximum flavor.
- If edges brown too quickly, cover with foil.
- For a spicier pie, add extra cinnamon or cloves.
- Chill for 2–3 hours for cleaner slices.
