Ingredients
Apple Butter Pie:
- 1 store bought pie dough or make my homemade pie crust recipe
- 1 ½ cups half and half
- 1 cup apple butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Cinnamon Whipped Topping:
- ¾ cup heavy cream very cold
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the pie dough into a pie tin.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the half and half, apple butter, sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the center is just set and a knife inserted near the middle comes out mostly clean. Cover the edges of the pie crust if browning too quickly.
- Cool the pie completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- For the topping, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and cinnamon until soft peaks form.
- Slice the chilled pie and serve each piece with a generous dollop of cinnamon whipped topping.

Notes
Check doneness carefully. Insert a knife near the center. It should come out mostly clean, with a slight wobble left in the middle. The pie continues to set as it cools.
Cool completely before chilling. Placing a warm pie in the fridge creates condensation and a soggy crust. Let it come fully to room temperature first.
Chill for clean slices. Two hours in the fridge helps the custardy filling firm up so each slice holds its shape beautifully. Overnight chilling gives the best results.
