Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3-4 Tbsp ice water

Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie Filling

  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
  • 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
  • 3/4 cup half & half

Brown Sugar Streusel

  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Pie Crust

  • In a large bowl (or the bowl of a standing mixer), mix flour and salt together.
  • 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).
  • Add in the water, 1 Tbsp at a time, until the dough begins to come together.
  • 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

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and set out a 9" or 10" pie dish (I suggest a deep dish one).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pie dough in a large circle, about 1/4" to an 1/8" thick.
  • 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).
  • Tuck the ends of the dough underneath and then crimp the edges. Set aside.

Apple Butter Pumpkin Filling

  • In a large bowl, mix pumpkin puree, apple butter, and brown sugar together. Add in all spices, and mix until combined.
  • Add in half & half and eggs, then mix until fully incorporated.
  • Pour filling into prepared pie crust, and smooth the filling until it's in a nice, even layer.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • While the pie is baking, prepare the brown sugar streusel.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • Allow to cool at least 30 minutes before serving (or refrigerate it).
  • Top with whipped cream.
  • Refrigerate leftovers.

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.
