Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • Unsalted butter (for homemade crust)
  • All-purpose flour (for homemade crust)
  • 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Pie Filling

  • 1 cup apple butter (preferably thick)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Cinnamon Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Using a food processor, quickly make your all-butter pie crust following your preferred recipe. After preparing, allow it to rest in the refrigerator for at least one hour to relax the dough and ensure easier rolling.
  2. Roll and Parbake the Crust: Roll out the rested pie dough on a floured surface and transfer it into a pie plate. Crimp the edges neatly. Place a crumpled piece of parchment paper into the center of the crust and fill it with pie weights to prevent bubbling. Bake (parbake) the crust until the edges begin to set, then remove the weights and parchment paper. Continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden and set.
  3. Combine Filling Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the apple butter, dark brown sugar, and flour until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  4. Add Eggs: Crack in the three room-temperature eggs and whisk thoroughly to incorporate them into the filling mixture, ensuring a smooth consistency.
  5. Incorporate Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the entire 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk into the bowl, scraping out all remaining contents from the can, and whisk until the filling is completely smooth and uniform.
  6. Fill the Pie and Bake: Pour the prepared filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Bake the filled pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and only slightly jiggles in the center.
  7. Make Cinnamon Whipped Cream: While the pie cools, whip heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  8. Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before topping with the cinnamon whipped cream. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use dark brown sugar for a deeper flavor and richer color; light brown sugar may be used as a substitute with slightly milder taste.
  • Store-bought apple butter works well, but homemade thicker apple butter is recommended for best texture.
  • If your apple butter is too runny, cook it down slightly to thicken before using.
  • To enhance the apple flavor, reduce 1 cup of apple cider to a syrup and whisk it into the filling.
  • Try using other fruit butters such as pumpkin, pear, or peach for variations.
  • For an autumn twist, combine half apple butter and half pumpkin puree for the filling.
  • Decorate the pie edges with festive leaf or apple-shaped dough cutouts for presentation.
