Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup apple butter (homemade or store-bought)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the middle.
  2. Roll out your 9-inch pie crust and fit it into your pie pan. Crimp the edges and prick the bottom a few times with a fork.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add granulated sugar and beat again until combined, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is pale and creamy.
  6. Mix in apple butter, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Beat until fully combined and smooth, about 1 minute.
  7. Pour the apple butter filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently to release bubbles.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly. Cover crust edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  9. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours.
  10. In a chilled medium bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until soft peaks form (2-3 minutes with an electric mixer).
  11. Serve pie slices topped with cinnamon whipped cream. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use a certified gluten-free pie crust. For dairy-free, substitute plant-based cream cheese and coconut cream. Blind baking the crust for 10 minutes before filling yields a crisper base. Let the pie cool fully before slicing for best texture. If cracks appear, cover with whipped cream. Pie flavors deepen after chilling overnight.
