Ingredients

Scale

Pie:

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the pie.
  2. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges neatly, then refrigerate the crust to chill while preparing the filling.
  3. Mix Sugars and Apple Butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar, stirring until well blended.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure a smooth filling.
  5. Incorporate Cream and Spices: Stir in the heavy cream, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  6. Fill Pie Crust: Pour the apple butter filling evenly into the chilled pie crust, smoothing the top gently.
  7. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly browned. Test doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
  8. Cool Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack to ensure the filling sets and flavors meld.
  9. Prepare Cinnamon Whipped Cream: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  10. Whip Cream: Use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to whip the cream mixture until soft peaks form, ensuring it is light and airy.
  11. Serve: Serve slices of the cooled apple butter pie topped generously with the cinnamon whipped cream for a delicious finish.

Notes

  • Make sure the pie crust is well chilled before adding the filling to prevent sogginess.
  • To achieve soft peaks for the whipped cream, avoid over-whipping to prevent turning it into butter.
  • Leftover pie should be refrigerated and consumed within 3 days for best freshness.
  • Use high-quality apple butter for the best flavor impact.
  • If desired, add a pinch of ground cloves or allspice for a deeper spice profile.
