Ingredients

Scale
  • 3¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup + 6 tbsp unsalted butter, very cold, cut into ½” cubes
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ⅔ cup ice-cold water (plus a few ice cubes on hand)
  • 1½ cups apple butter
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract

Instructions

  1. Chill the butter in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, combine flour and salt. Add chilled butter and pulse until crumbly.
  3. Gradually add ice-cold water until mixture forms shaggy clumps.
  4. Shape dough into discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1–2 hours.
  5. Roll out one disc to fit a 9-inch pie dish; freeze for 15 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Dock the crust with a fork and blind-bake for 15 minutes with weights, then remove weights and bake another 5 minutes until lightly golden.
  7. In a bowl, whisk together apple butter, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, dark brown sugar, flour, and vanilla until smooth.
  8. Pour filling into the cooled crust and bake at 325°F (163°C) for about 40 minutes or until set but jiggly in the center.
  9. Let cool to room temperature before adding whipped cream topping made by whipping heavy cream with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
