Ingredients for streusel topped apple butter pumpkin pie

For the streusel topping:

• Unsalted butter – This is the fat that will help bring the topping together.
• Flour – I’ve used white flour but feel free to use whole wheat. 
• Brown sugar – This will give us sweetness and a deep molasses flavor.
• Pecans – A fall favorite! 

For pie:

• Apple butter – This is easily found in the jams/jellies section of most major grocery stores. 
• Pumpkin puree – Canned pumpkin puree is another easily available ingredient, they’ve done all the work for us!
• Brown sugar – This will give us sweetness and a deep molasses flavor.
• Spices – Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic pumpkin pie flavors. 
• Eggs – The eggs help make the custard for our filling. 
• Evaporated milk – This is milk with about 60% of the water content removed, so it gives us a creamy milky taste without adding all that extra water.
• Frozen pie shell – Frozen pie shells are available at most major grocery stores.

Make ahead

Planning a holiday meal doesn’t have to be stressful! 

You can make the filling for this streusel-topped apple butter pumpkin pie up to a day in advance, and keep it in a bowl in the refrigerator.

When it’s time to make the pie, just pour the filling into your thawed pie shell, and viola! Easy peasy!

Why pecans? 

Pecans are a traditional fall-flavored nut, but if you’re not a fan, no worries!

You can switch out the pecans for walnuts, cashews, or even almonds.

If you prefer nut-free, that’s fine as well. Your streusel will still be delicious!

Storage and leftovers

This pie stores nicely, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
