Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the apple butter, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and flour until smooth and combined.
2 cups apple butter, 4 large eggs, 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons flour
Pour mixture into the prepared par-baked crust, smoothing out the top.
1 9 inch par-baked pie crust
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the pie is set around the edges but the center still has a slight jiggle.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Make sure all the ingredients for the filling are at room temperature. It will help the pie filling smoothly combine and create that silky texture.
If the crust starts browning too quickly, wrap the edges in foil or use a pie shield.
Do not overbake the pie. It is done when the edges are firm but the center will still jiggle. That's ok. The pie will set as it cools.
Add extra cinnamon, ground cloves, and nutmeg for a stronger spice profile.
For a creamy variation, drop a few spoonful's of room temperature cream cheese into the filling before baking and give it a swirl.
You can make this same recipe with any other fruit butter you'd like including pumpkin butter.
For extra flavor, add a streusel topping before you bake it.
