  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon*
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 3 eggs

Instructions
Pie Crust
  1. In a large bowl (or the bowl of a standing mixer), mix flour and salt together.

  2. With your standing mixer or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour, a little at a time until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (I usually do this with my standing mixer on low; you can also use a fork or your pastry cutter and do it by hand).

  3. Add in the water, 1 Tbsp at a time, until the dough begins to come together.

  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and form the dough into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or until ready to use.

Baking the Pie
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and set out a 9" or 10" pie dish (I suggest a deep dish one).

  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pie dough in a large circle, about 1/4" to an 1/8" thick.

  3. Carefully transfer the dough to your pie plate and gently push the dough into the plate. Carefully trim off any excess dough (leaving about 1/4"-1/2" of overhang).

  4. Tuck the ends of the dough underneath and then crimp the edges. Set aside.

Apple Butter Pumpkin Filling
  1. In a large bowl, mix pumpkin puree, apple butter, and brown sugar together. Add in all spices, and mix until combined.
  2. Add in half & half and eggs, then mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Pour filling into prepared pie crust, and smooth the filling until it's in a nice, even layer.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. While the pie is baking, prepare the brown sugar streusel.
  6. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, and pecans together. With a pastry cutter or fork, work the butter into the brown sugar and flour mixture, until the streusel topping resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the streusel over the pie, and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set when jiggled slightly (or insert a knife into the center of the pie; if it comes out clean, the pie is done).

  8. Allow to cool at least 30 minutes before serving (or refrigerate it).
  9. Top with whipped cream.
  10. Refrigerate leftovers.
Recipe Notes

**My favorite pie crust: Easy Cream Cheese Pie Crust

*I prefer to use my own ratio of spices; however, if you want to substitute pumpkin pie spice, I would use 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice + 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.
