This custard-based pie is made with apple butter and topped with a layer of cinnamon sugar - all baked in a flaky gluten free pie crust!

Cinnamon Sugar Apple Butter Pie

tbsp sugar

tsp salt

(220 grams) unsalted butter, cold and cubed (European style preferred)

water

(60 grams) sour cream

apple butter

eggs, divided

(50 grams) dark brown sugar, packed

tbsp Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour

condensed milk

Homemade whipped cream

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, sugar, and salt.

To the bowl, add the cubed butter and toss to coat the cubes in flour.

Using your fingers, two forks, or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the butter is evenly dispersed into small pea sized lumps. If the butter starts to melt, place the bowl into the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes before continuing.

Pour in the 1/4 cup of ice water and stir to evenly hydrate. Then mix in the sour cream.

If the dough looks too dry and crumbly, try working it together with your hands. If it&#8217;s easily able to form into a large mass, it&#8217;s ready. If it&#8217;s still too crumbly, mix in 1 tbsp of water at a time until it&#8217;s properly hydrated.

Split the dough into two pieces, one that&#8217;s slightly larger than the other. One will be for the bottom crust and the other will be for the pie leaves on top.

Place the two pieces of dough onto two separate sheets of plastic wrap. Form into a 1-inch thick disk and wrap tightly. Chill for at least 1 hour.

After 1 hour, remove the larger piece of the pie dough and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Then, roll it out onto a well-floured surface using the gluten free flour.

As you roll, continue to flour the surface underneath. Do this more often in the beginning stages as it&#8217;s easy to move around the dough when it&#8217;s more compact. Continuous flouring early on will prevent the pie dough from sticking to the surface when it comes time to transfer it to the pie dish.

It may crack in a few places, so I like to switch off between rolling the dough and pushing it into shape using my fingers.

Once it&#8217;s rolled out to a diameter that&#8217;s about an inch larger than your pie dish, carefully roll the pie dough onto your rolling pin and then roll it back into the pie dish. Carefully lift the edges and press the pie dough into the sides of the dish. Use your fingers to patch up any cracks.

Tuck under any excess overhang and crimp the edges.

Take 1 egg allotted for the pie filling and separate the egg white and the yolk. Save the yolk for the filling and use the egg white to brush the bottom and sides of the pie dough. This will create a barrier between the pie filling and the pie dough, so the bottom will not turn soggy.

Freeze the pie shell until the egg white is frozen solid (about 15 minutes). While it freezes, preheat the oven to 400F and roll out the second half of dough.

Press out the leaves using cookie cutters (I used these) and transfer to a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the pan in the refrigerator.

Once frozen, tear off a square sheet of parchment paper that&#8217;s a bit larger than the pie dish. Wrinkle it up into a ball and then open the sheet (it&#8217;s easier to mold into the pie shell when it&#8217;s wrinkled). Place into the pie shell and fill with pie weights or dry beans (see picture in post for reference).

Bake the shell and leaves for 15 minutes. Then remove the pie weights and parchment paper and bake for another 5-8 minutes, or until the center no longer looks soft and raw. If the leaves are golden brown by the 15 minute mark, you can remove those from the oven. If not, bake for another 5 minutes with the pie shell.

Make the cinnamon sugar topping and toss to coat the warm pie leaves. Reserve the rest of the mixture for the pie filling.

Allow the pie shell to cool while you make the pie filling.

Gluten Free Pie Crust

In a large bowl, whisk together the apple butter, 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk, and sugar.

Finally whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.

Pour the filling into the pie shell and top the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Bake at 400F for 10 minutes. Then reduce to 350F and bake for 30-40 minutes.

Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill uncovered for at least 2 hours to set. It can also be left overnight.

Once it&#8217;s ready, top with whipped cream and enjoy!

Apple Butter Pie Filling

Would normal plain white flour be ok instead of gluten free?

Just had to drop this here - we had a company pie competition and I made this and won!! People LOVED it (: Can’t wait to make it again and again

This was a fantastic addition to a Friendsgiving. I used a regular store-bought crust (not GF) and everyone asked for the recipe, will make again!

A silky smooth, warm-spiced apple butter custard baked in a flaky crust and topped with homemade whipped cream. Pure fall comfort and perfect for Thanksgiving and holidays.

Apple Butter Pie Recipe

pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

brown sugar

heavy cream

nutmeg

cloves

salt

vanilla extract

heavy whipping cream

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired. Place a piece of parchment paper in the pie crust and fill with pie weights of beans.  Bake the crust for 12 minutes.  Remove the pie weights and cool the crust.

In a large bowl, whisk together the apple butter, brown sugar, eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and vanilla until smooth and fully combined.

Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when moved. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely for at least 2 hours. The filling will continue to set as it cools.

Meanwhile, prepare the whipped topping. In a cold mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.

Once the pie has cooled, spread or pipe the whipped topping evenly over the top, or serve it on individual slices. You can also swirl in a spoon of apple butter into the whipped topping.
