Chai Apple Butter Pie
This Chai Apple Butter Pie is a great alternative to pumpkin pie! Flavored with aromatic chai spices and smooth apple butter, it's a real winner for the holiday season.
Servings: 8 -10
Ingredients
- 1 deep-dish 9" frozen pie crust thawed
- 1/2 cup apple butter I love Musselman's
- 1 beaten egg
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 (12 oz can) evaporated milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- Whipped cream for garnish optional but recommended
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place the thawed pie crust pan onto a baking sheet to make it easier to remove from the oven. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the apple butter, beaten egg, sugar, flour, evaporated milk and spices until smooth. Pour into the prepared pie crust. I recommend using a pie crust shield at this point to prevent the crust from burning. If you do not have a pie crust shield, take strips of foil and tent around the pie crust edges.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes or until the center of the pie is just about set. It may be slightly jiggly, but it won't be sloshing around. Cool completely, then refrigerate for about 2 hours to set. Just before serving, garnish with whipped cream.
