Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 prepared 9-inch pie crust
Filling
- 1 1/4 cups apple butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the apple butter, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Fill the pie crust: Pour the apple butter filling evenly into the prepared pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- Bake the pie: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie on the middle rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. You can test the filling by gently shaking the pie; it should only have a slight jiggle in the center.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Cooling helps the filling to firm up properly.
Notes
- Use a fully baked pie crust if preferred for a crisper base.
- The spices can be adjusted according to personal taste — increase cinnamon for more warmth or reduce cloves for a milder flavor.
- The pie is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
