Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Serving Size 8 slices

Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 1 cup plain pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs well beaten
  • 3/4 brown sugar
  • 3/4 white sugar
  • 1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 oz evaporated milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • .5 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

New GroupHomemade Maple and Cinnamon Whipped Cream

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • 1. Combine apple butter, pumpkin pie filling, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, evaporated milk, white sugar, brown sugar and cornstarch. Mix until well combined. 
  • 2. Roll out a pie crust with a rolling pin and press into a deep dish pie pan. Use a sharp knife to cut off excess crust from around the edge of the pie dish. 
  • 3. Pour the pie filling into the prepared pie dish. Smooth filling on the top with a rubber spatula or spoon. 
  • 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 65-75 minutes or until the middle of the pie is set and doesn't jiggle much in the middle. A very slight jiggle is okay, but it should not be liquid like in the middle.

Notes

  • The baking time will be dependent on the thickness of the apple butter used and your oven. If the outer edges of the crust become golden brown before the pie is done cooking, place tin foil over the pie plate as the pie finishes baking to protect the crust from burning. A pie shield can also be used. 
  • Once the pie is baked and the middle is set, remove from the oven and allow to cool at least 30 minutes to allow it to finish setting up.
