Method
Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the spelt flour and butter mixture into a circle, then fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Blind bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until lightly golden and set aside to cool.
Make the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of apple butter, 3 eggs, 1 cup of cream, ½ cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk vigorously until smooth and well blended, about 2-3 minutes.
Fill the Crust
- Carefully pour the filling into the blind-baked spelt crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to prevent air bubbles.
Bake
- Place the filled pie in the oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 45-55 minutes. Watch for the edges to set while the center remains slightly wobbly. Tent with foil if the top begins to brown excessively.
Cool and Chill
- Once baked, let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set properly.
Serve
- Slice the Apple Butter Pie into wedges and serve with a generous dollop of Maple Whipped Cream.
