- 1/2 cup apple butter
- 2 cups whole milk*
- unbaked pastry for 1 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Beat eggs in a medium size bowl. Add the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and apple butter. Mix well. 1/2 cup apple butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 cup apple butter
- Add milk and whisk together. 2 cups whole milk*
- Press the pastry into a 9" pie pish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Flute the edges
- Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust. Use a spoon to mix the filling once it is in the crust to be sure all of the ingredients are equally distributed. unbaked pastry for 1 9-inch pie crust
- Bake on the bottom oven rack for 60-65 minutes, or until the center is set. It will still seem slightly "jiggly" in the very center, but a knife put in the center should come out nearly clean, similar to a pumpkin pie.
- Cool on a wire rack. Do not slice into the pie right away, as it will continue to set as it sits.
- Store the pie in the refrigerator once it is cooled.

Notes
- It's best to use a high fat milk for this recipe. You can even use evaporated milk or half and half. I do not recommend skim milk, 2% milk or 1 % milk.
- I would start checking to see if the pie is done after 55 minutes of baking.
- If the edge of the crust is getting too brown, cover it carefully with aluminum foil.
- For flavor variation, add a pinch of salt, a dash of vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice.
