Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups apple butter
  • 1 354 ml can evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 premade pie crust
  • Whipped cream and grated nutmeg for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the apple butter, evaporated milk, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg until smooth
  • Pour filling into pie crust, then bake in preheated oven 55-60 minutes, or until pie is no longer jiggly in the center ( a little wobble is fine but if it looks liquidy it needs more time
  • Serve warm or cold with whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg if desired

Notes

  • It helps the eggs incorporate better into the filling if you let them come to room temperature first.
  • Wondering how to tell if your pie is done? The center should be set. It may have a little wobble but not look liquidy at all.
  • This pie is fantastic either warm like apple pie or chilled like pumpkin pie.
  • It's the perfect pie for people wanting something traditional but don't like pumpkin!
