Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 pre-made pie crust
  2. 2 cups apple butter
  3. 3 eggs
  4. 1/2 cup sugar
  5. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  6. 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  7. 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the pie bakes evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Take the pre-made pie crust out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to make it easier to work with.
  3. While the crust is warming up, gather all your ingredients: apple butter, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of apple butter and 1/2 cup of sugar. Mix well until the sugar is fully incorporated into the apple butter.
  5. Add the 3 eggs to the apple butter mixture, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. This will help to create a smooth and creamy filling.
  6. Next, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir the mixture until all the spices are evenly distributed.
  7. Once your filling is well combined, carefully pour it into the pre-made pie crust. Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly if necessary.
  8. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly browned.
  9. After baking, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to firm up a bit more.
  10. Slice the pie into 8 servings and enjoy! Serve it warm or at room temperature, and consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Tips

  1. Room Temperature Ingredients: Let your eggs and pie crust sit at room temperature before mixing to ensure smoother blending and more consistent texture.
  2. Spice Balance: Don't be afraid to adjust the cinnamon and nutmeg to your taste, but avoid overdoing it – you want to complement, not overpower, the apple butter's rich flavor.
  3. Crust Protection: If the pie crust edges start browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
  4. Cooling is Crucial: Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes after baking to help the filling set properly and make slicing easier.
  5. Serving Suggestions: Elevate your pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent experience.
  6. Storage Tip: This pie can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days, making it perfect for make-ahead desserts.
