As the weather gets a little bit cooler we all start craving some of those fantastic flavors like pumpkin, cider or even apple butter. I’m just like everyone else, except of course I could eat this stuff all year! I absolutely love Fall, so when we were given a jar of Musselman’s Apple Butter as part of our goodie bags at Reviewer’s Retreat I was beyond thrilled. A little taste of Fall in the middle of the Summer!There is so much you can do with Apple Butter other than just put it on your toast and bread. You can find a variety of recipes and ideas on the Musselman’s Apple Butter Facebook Page. But since I was craving more fall flavors I went ahead and made some pie – who doesn’t love pie! This recipe has a bit of a kick of spice – the apple butter brings some, but the added spices give it a boost in flavor and spice!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter
- 1 cup Canned Pumpkin
- 1/2 cup packed Brown Sugar

- 1/8 tsp ground Ginger
