Apple Butter Pie is a rich and flavorful dessert featuring a smooth apple butter filling enhanced with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, all encased in a flaky pie crust. This comforting pie bakes to a luscious, custard-like texture that is perfect for autumnal gatherings or anytime you crave a cozy, spiced treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 unbaked pie crust (9-inch)

Filling

  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it is fully fitted and edges are fluted as desired.
  2. Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple butter, brown sugar, eggs, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Fill the Pie: Pour the prepared apple butter filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula if needed.
  4. Bake the Pie: Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the filling is mostly set and only slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool Completely: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.

Notes

  • Use a store-bought or homemade pie crust depending on preference.
  • Allow the pie to cool fully for best slicing results; warm slices may be too soft.
  • Adjust cinnamon and nutmeg quantities to taste for more or less spice.
  • For a lighter cream option, half-and-half can be substituted for heavy cream, though richness will be reduced.
  • Apple butter thickness varies; if filling seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to loosen it slightly.
