Pie Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and kosher salt. Cut in cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs. Gradually add ice-cold water, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- After chilling, preheat your oven to 375°F. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your pie plate. Place the dough in the plate, trim the edges, and freeze for 20 minutes. Dock the crust with a fork, line with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together apple butter, large eggs, dark brown sugar, and all-purpose flour until smooth. Slowly incorporate sweetened condensed milk while whisking to ensure a creamy consistency.
- Lower the oven temperature to 325°F. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and bake for 30 minutes. Transfer the pie to the bottom rack and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until slightly jiggly but firm.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 3 hours.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and ground cinnamon. Whip until soft peaks form, being careful not to over-whip.
- Spread the cinnamon whipped cream over the cooled pie. Optionally, swirl in a bit more apple butter before serving.

Notes
Ensure your eggs and apple butter are at room temperature for optimal blending. If the edges of the pie crust are browning too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil during the last baking minutes. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack for clean slices.
