Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie

It's time to start thinking about dessert for Thanksgiving.  While I like to stick with my Amish Apple Pie recipe that I already shared with you  I think this is an interesting twist on a classic pumpkin pie.  A great way to use up that jar of apple butter from the fall too.

Cook’s Notes:
