Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, apple butter, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth. Gradually whisk in the beaten eggs, followed by the evaporated milk, ensuring a well-combined mixture. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the pumpkin-apple butter filling into the prepared pie crust, distributing it evenly. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set with a slight jiggle at the center and a knife inserted about 2 inches from the edge comes out clean. (60 minutes)

Recipe View While the pie is baking, prepare the streusel topping: In a separate small bowl, combine the cubed cold butter, flour, and 1/3 cup dark brown sugar. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans. (10 minutes)

Recipe View After the initial baking time, remove the pie from the oven and gently sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the surface. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the streusel topping is golden brown and the filling is completely set. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly. (60 minutes)
