Delicious! I made two different pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving, and this one was the winner, hands down. The spice of the apple butter was a great compliment to the pumpkin flavor. I baked it about 48 minutes before the middle was firmed up. I'll definitely be making this one again!

Super good! I made this for a church supper and everyone loved it! The recipe caught me eye because it contained apple butter and I love apple butter! I baked it exactly 40 minutes and it came out perfect! I covered the crust about 15 minutes into the baking time and it was a perfect golden brown. I will definitely be making this on Thanksgiving! Thanks for posting such a wonderful recipe!

We tried this pie because I love apple butter. It was good. I can see taking this to a holiday gathering where the people attending aren't that into pumpkin pie. Personally, we ended up making a traditional pumpkin pie this year for Thanksgiving.
