I personally don't eat pumpkin but all the family does. I started Making this pie several years ago. I've read so many of the reviews on here so I thought I'd give mine. People who like it, love it. Other people don't. This pie is different than traditional in flavor so of course not everyone is going to like it. I always have to make more than one because certain people request it. I've made 8 for one thanksgiving before. So I recommend you at least try the pie and form your own opinion. I also agree with other users. I think you should make the pie as the recipe states if you are going to review. The pie is a good pie. There is nothing wrong with it. Some people's tastes just don't care for it but that doesn't mean it's not worth trying.

I followed the recipe exactly. I expected to taste apple and pumpkin. We all thought (6 of us) that it tasted like a bland pumpkin pie. I made this because of all the positive reviews. I don't get it. And the streusel topping adds nothing, better off without it. Two out of six said they'd eat it again but I won't make this a second time. I wonder if it's because I used Smucker's Apple Butter although no brand was specified in the recipe.

This recipe is definitely a keeper. I have been the designated pumpkin pie maker in my family for about 10 years now, and everyone loved the apple butter twist last time. (My grandfather now insists I make it this way every time!) Personally I think I will leave out the nuts and streusel topping this year, and let the pie speak for itself.

Great recipe and I love the topping! The only thing I would even consider changing would be to next time add just a little more brown sugar to make the pie a little sweeter. This could be because the apple butter I made is sweet but not too sweet and is a little tart, so if you're using store bought apple butter you probably wouldn't need to add any extra sugar! You can taste both the apple and pumpkin, but neither is overwhelming. My boyfriend said it was phenomenal! Will definitely make again :)

This is by far my favorite autumn dessert! I followe the recipe exactly (though walnuts can be substituted for pecans in a pinch). I first tasted this pie at a potluck, and for weeks I searched websites and cookbooks, and I finally found it. The search was well worth the wait, as I plan on making Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie a tradition for my family!

3.5 Stars: This was a good way to use up apple butter, but most of the family thought it may as well be pumpkin pie.

I love this recipe! I make this pie every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even my husband, who doesn't care for pumpkin pie loves this pie.

Just not good at all. Even with the topping the flavor leaves a whole heck of a lot to be desired.

This was wonderful!! I had lost a recipe for this pie by Paula Deen and was so happy to find one here! Incredible...used the Apple Butter II recipe by diane off this site. Always get requests for this recipe. We personally like it better without the streusel, but that's just us. It's still an awesome pie.
