8 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 1/2 c apple butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 c sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan with some cooking spray.
- Roll out the refrigerated pie crust and gently press it into your pie pan. If you have extra crust hanging over the edges, feel free to trim it off. Want to get fancy? Use your fingers or a fork to make a fun design along the edges. Set the pan aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and apple butter until everything is smooth and well combined. Add the milk and whisk it all together until it’s nice and creamy.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, using a spoon to spread it out evenly.
- Pop the pie into the oven and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the center is mostly set. It’s okay if it jiggles a bit in the middle—the knife test is your friend here. Insert a knife into the center; if it comes out almost clean, you’re good to go.
- Let the pie cool on a rack before slicing. Top each slice with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and enjoy! Any leftovers? Store them in the fridge for a sweet treat later.
Notes
To make this Deliciously Warm Apple Butter Pie gluten-free, it’s really simple. Start by swapping out the regular pie crust for a gluten-free one—most grocery stores carry a few good options in the freezer section, so you won’t have to make it from scratch unless you want to. The filling itself is naturally gluten-free since it’s just apple butter, sugar, cinnamon, eggs, and cornstarch. Just double-check that the apple butter and any other ingredients you use are certified gluten-free to avoid any hidden gluten (some brands can sneak it in!). With these easy swaps, everyone can enjoy this pie without any worries.
