Apple Butter Pie with Cinnamon Whipped Cream

Apple Butter Pie with Cinnamon Whipped Cream Introduction

This Apple Butter Pie is the perfect fall dessert! A creamy, spiced apple butter filling nestled in a flaky crust, topped with a dreamy cinnamon whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Pie Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • For the Apple Butter Filling:
  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Cinnamon Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the Pie Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges.
  4. Make the Apple Butter Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together apple butter, heavy cream, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  5. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely before serving.
  6. Make the Cinnamon Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  7. Serve slices of pie topped with a generous dollop of cinnamon whipped cream.

Notes

For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top of the whipped cream before serving. You can also use a store-bought pie crust to save time.
