Ingredients
  

For the Pie Crust
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Consider whole wheat for a nuttier flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter Use salted butter to enhance flavor or alternative plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt Sea salt can be used as a substitute.
  • 4 tablespoons Ice-cold water Always use cold water for the best texture.
For the Pie Filling
  • 1 cup Apple butter Homemade adds depth, but store-bought works well.
  • 2 large Large eggs Ensure they’re at room temperature for even mixing.
  • 3/4 cup Dark brown sugar Light brown sugar can substitute for a milder taste.
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour Cornstarch can be used as a gluten-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla paste/extract Use almond extract for a different twist.
  • 1 can Sweetened condensed milk Evaporated milk can be used with added sugar to taste.
For the Cinnamon Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream Coconut cream is a great vegan substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar Granulated sugar can be used but might create a grainier texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon Pumpkin pie spice can work as an alternative.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and kosher salt. Cut in unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice-cold water until the dough comes together. Wrap and chill for 1-2 hours.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, freeze for 15 minutes, then dock the bottom, fill with weights, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and bake for another 5 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the apple butter, large eggs, dark brown sugar, and all-purpose flour until well combined. Gradually stir in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the filling into the par-baked crust and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 30 minutes. Check and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 3 hours. Optionally refrigerate for an hour.
  6. For the whipped cream, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a chilled mixing bowl. Beat until soft-stiff peaks form.
  7. Slice your pie and serve immediately, topping each slice with whipped cream. Optionally drizzle with apple butter.
