Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup apple butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface if homemade, and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Press gently into the bottom and sides, trim excess dough, and crimp edges. Chill while preparing filling.
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together apple butter, eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake: Place pie on center rack. Bake for 50–60 minutes until the filling is set but slightly wobbly in the center and crust is golden brown. Cover edges with foil if browning too fast.
- Cool: Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 2 hours to fully set.
- Chill (optional): Cover loosely and refrigerate for a firmer texture and easier slicing.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy as is or with whipped cream or caramel drizzle.
Notes
Keep the pie crust chilled before baking to ensure flakiness.
Avoid overbaking to maintain a creamy filling.
Customize by adding nuts, spices, or a decorative crust.
