Preparation
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 3 hours. Optionally refrigerate for an hour.
- 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.
- Slice your pie and serve immediately, topping each slice with whipped cream. Optionally drizzle with apple butter.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients, particularly eggs and milk, are at room temperature for best results. Chill dough before baking for a flaky crust.
