A creamy spiced filling with apple butter inside a flaky crust. Great for cozy fall or festive occasions.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Crust
01 -
1 refrigerated 9-inch pie crust
→ Filling
02 -
1 cup apple butter
03 -
2 large eggs
04 -
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the refrigerated pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges as desired. Prick the bottom with a fork.
02 -
Line crust with parchment paper or foil and fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake on middle rack for 10 to 12 minutes.
03 -
Remove parchment and weights, then bake crust for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until bottom is dry and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
04 -
In a large bowl, whisk together apple butter, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour until smooth and fully combined.
05 -
Pour filling into prepared crust and smooth the surface. Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes on the middle rack, until edges are set but the center retains a slight jiggle.
06 -
Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to serve.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Use room temperature ingredients to avoid lumps in the filling.
02 -
If crust browns too quickly, cover edges with foil or a pie shield.
03 -
Allow pie to fully cool and set before slicing for clean cuts.
04 -
Leftovers keep refrigerated up to 5 days or frozen up to 3 months.
05 -
Frozen pie crust can be parbaked by thawing for 15 minutes, pricking bottom, and baking at 375°F for 10–15 minutes.
