Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup apple butter
  • 2 cups whole milk*
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and apple butter. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Add milk: Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is fully combined.
  4. Prepare the crust: Press the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish sprayed with cooking spray. Flute the edges for a decorative touch.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the pie crust. Use a spoon to gently mix the filling in the crust to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  6. Bake: Place the pie on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the center is set. The pie should still have a slight jiggle in the center, but a knife inserted should come out nearly clean.
  7. Cool: Let the pie cool on a wire rack. It will continue to set as it cools.
  8. Serve: Once cooled, slice and enjoy! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Milk choice: Use whole milk, evaporated milk, or half-and-half for the best texture. Avoid skim or low-fat milk.
  • Crust protection: If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
  • Flavor variations: Add a pinch of salt, a dash of vanilla extract, or ½ teaspoon of apple pie spice for extra depth of flavor.
  • Don’t rush slicing: Allow the pie to cool completely before cutting to ensure it sets properly.
