Description
A smooth, lightly spiced pie with a custard-like texture and deep apple flavor. This pie offers an easy apple butter alternative to traditional pumpkin pie.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup apple butter
- 2 cups whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven.
- Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9 inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set the dish aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until they are smooth.
- Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Whisk until completely combined.
- Whisk in the apple butter until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Slowly pour in the whole milk while whisking constantly until the filling is completely smooth.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Gently stir once with a spoon to distribute the custard evenly.
- Bake for 60 to 65 minutes. The edges should be set and the center just slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven. Cool the pie completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- The pie firms up more as it cools, similar to a pumpkin pie.
