Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup apple butter
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges decoratively.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, apple butter, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well-blended.
- Pour the pumpkin-apple butter mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- For the streusel topping, mix flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and oats in a separate bowl. Use your fingers to combine until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse sand.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the pie filling, covering the entire surface.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the streusel is golden brown and the center of the pie is set but slightly jiggly.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the pie to set completely.
- Serve at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Tips
- • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest filling possible. • Don't overwork the streusel topping - you want it crumbly, not dense. • For a picture-perfect pie, cover the edges with aluminum foil if they start browning too quickly. • Let the pie cool completely to allow the filling to set properly - patience is key! • For extra richness, use freshly ground spices if you have them. • Serve slightly warm or at room temperature for the best flavor experience. • Store leftover pie in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days.
