Creamy apple butter filling with warm spices in a flaky crust, ideal for autumn desserts.
# Ingredients Needed:
→ Crust
01 -
1 refrigerated 9-inch pie crust
→ Filling
02 -
1 cup apple butter
03 -
2 large eggs
04 -
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch pie pan with the refrigerated pie crust, crimp the edges as desired, and prick the bottom with a fork.
02 -
Line the pie crust with parchment paper or foil and fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake on the middle rack for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment, then bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the bottom is dry and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk together apple butter, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 -
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smooth the top, and bake at 350°F on the middle rack for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
05 -
Remove the pie from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to achieve clean slices.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Use room temperature ingredients to prevent lumps in the filling.
02 -
If crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie shield during baking.
03 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
04 -
Pie can be served chilled or at room temperature according to preference.
