I'm proud of this pie because I made it up in my head, and it turned out very well! It's a little different from traditional pumpkin or pecan pie, which makes it a nice holiday surprise. —Sherry Little, Sherwood, Arkansas
Apple Butter and Pumpkin Pie Recipe photo by Taste of Home
In a bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in butter and shortening until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Reserve one-fourth of the dough for cutouts; shape into a disk. Shape remaining dough into a separate disk. Wrap disks and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
On a lightly floured surface, roll large disk of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edges. Roll small disk to 1/4-in. thickness; cut into desired shapes with floured 1-in. cookie cutters. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Refrigerate crust and cutouts while preparing filling.
Preheat oven to 425°. Mix eggs, apple butter, pumpkin, brown sugar, salt and spices; stir in cream. Pour into crust. Bake on a lower oven rack 15 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°; bake until center is almost set, 30-35 minutes. Bake cutouts on an upper oven rack until golden brown, 12-15 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack; serve or refrigerate within 2 hours. Decorate pie with cutouts and toppings as desired.
Editor's Note: To make Sugared Cranberries, place 1/3 cup sugar in a small bowl. In a microwave, warm 1 tablespoon light corn syrup, about 10 seconds; toss with 1 cup fresh cranberries. Add to sugar and toss; let stand on waxed paper until set, about 1 hour.
