Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Filling

  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust: Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish, pressing it gently to fit and crimping the edges as desired.
  2. Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the apple butter, eggs, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and spices until smooth and well combined.
  3. Fill the crust: Pour the apple butter mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  4. Bake the pie: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie on the middle rack for approximately 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving to allow the filling to fully set.

Notes

  • You can use a homemade or store-bought pie crust based on your preference.
  • Adjust the spices to taste; adding a little ginger or allspice can enhance the flavor.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Ensure the pie is fully cooled to avoid a runny filling when sliced.
