Best Apple Butter Pie Recipe (Made with Olive These Foods Apple Butter)
Fall on the Fork: Why Apple Butter Pie Belongs on Your Table
The first cold front finally rolled into Texas, and like clockwork, I headed straight for the kitchen. For me, cooler weather means one thing: pie season. But not just any pie—this Apple Butter Pie is a comforting twist on tradition. With a velvety, spiced filling and the creamy texture of pumpkin pie, it’s everything you want in a fall dessert.
I made this recipe on that crisp morning, with the windows open and cinnamon lingering in the air. It’s a pie that feels like fall wrapped in a forkful—especially when topped with a cloud of cinnamon whipped cream.
This recipe was inspired by The Cozy Plum’s Apple Butter Pie, but I made it my own with a few tweaks—most importantly, featuring my slow-cooked apple butter as the star ingredient and adding a whipped cream kissed with cinnamon for extra warm flavor.
What Makes This Apple Butter Special
Our Olive These Foods Apple Butter isn’t just a spread for toast. It’s slow-cooked for hours until the apples break down into a smooth, spiced perfection. Naturally sweet with a hint of cinnamon and cloves, it transforms ordinary recipes into something extraordinary.
It’s delicious on yogurt, spread over warm biscuits, or brushed onto pork as a glaze—but in this recipe, it shines as the star of the pie.
