In our family I’m known for my “special pumpkin pie“. A recipe handed down to me from my grandfather. As glorious as that pie is though…… we sometimes crave just a “regular” pumpkin pie.
So of course I couldn’t “just make a pumpkin pie” I had to find one that was “kicked up a notch” and I think I did it!! Lucky Leaf is a favorite pie filling of mine and it didn’t take me long to find the recipe I wanted to try on their site.
This delicious combination of flavors and texture just screams “fall” with apple and pumpkin, in a heavenly spiced custard pie. The slightly crisp pecan streusel topping gives a surprising crunch in every bite.

- 1 Pillsbury refrigerated Pie Crust
- 1 cup solid pack pumpkin
- 1 cup LUCKY LEAF ® APPLE BUTTER

- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup undiluted evaporated milk

- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions

- Pour filling into into crust lined pie pan. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted two inches from center comes out clean.
- Remove pie from oven and sprinkle Streusel over pie filling .
- Return pie to the oven, cover crust with foil, and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Cool completely, about 1 hour.

I love anything with a streusel topping! And I could be perfectly happy with a Thanksgiving dinner of turkey, dressing and pie only. Well, and wine.
This pumpkin pie looks incredible…
Love this pie! Stumbled! Can’t wait to try it!
I cant believe that strussel topping… I think I drooled on my keyboard!! Great job!
O.K. now, just how does one go about getting an invitation to your house for Thanksgiving dinner? I promise to bring the turkey, stuffing, side dishes AND the wine if you promise to make this pie again for the holiday.
This looks amazing! I’m working on my pie!
Mmmm, I would be perfectly happy with potatoes, gravy, stuffing and pie!

I made your Grandpa pumpkin pie first a few months ago. Now I made this pie today. Both huge winners!
I recommend doubling the recipe for this apple butter pie (just like you have a double recipe for the grandpa pie) because almost all the ingredients are enough for doubling it. I made one for us and one to give to my dad.
Delicious pies – thank you for sharing your recipes and sharing how to make them so even a beginner like me can make it!
Thank you so much…….a recipe that I can substitute “Brown Sugar Splenda Blend” in. Making it this afternoon. Being diabetic, it is always wonderful to find these recipes. Thanks again, I love your site.
