Ingredients
Scale
- For the Pie Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup ice water
- For the Apple Butter Filling:
- 1 cup apple butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- For the Cinnamon Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the Pie Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple butter, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Assemble and Bake: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Transfer the crust to the pie plate and crimp the edges.
- Pour the apple butter filling into the crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely before serving.
- Make the Cinnamon Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until stiff peaks form.
- Serve the pie with a generous dollop of cinnamon whipped cream.
Notes
For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top of the whipped cream before serving.
