Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup Apple Butter homemade or store-bought
  • 3 large Eggs provide structure and richness
  • 1 cup Cream adds creaminess
  • ½ cup Sugar granulated or brown
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Diamond Crystal kosher salt recommended
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon adjust for warmth
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg adjust for spice
For the Crust
  • 1 cup Spelt Flour or all-purpose flour as a substitute
  • ½ cup Butter essential for a flaky crust

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. Carefully pour the filling into the blind-baked spelt crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to prevent air bubbles.
Bake
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. Slice the Apple Butter Pie into wedges and serve with a generous dollop of Maple Whipped Cream.
