Pumpkin Apple Pie
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375, and gather the ingredients.
Prep pie crust by adding flour, butter, water, and sugar to food processor. Mix until a dough is formed. Store dough in refrigerator.
Peel the apples.
Chop apples into cubes or slices. Cubes tend to make for an easier bite in the pie.
Add apples to a sauce pan on medium heat, and add cinnamon and nutmeg, butter, water, salt, and brown sugar. Cook for about 10 minutes until the apples are slightly softened.
Get ready to start the pumpkin pie portion.
In a mixing bowl, add the pumpkin purée, evaporated milk, sugar, egg, cinnamon, salt, and apple pie spice. Mix until smooth.
Remove the crust dough from the refrigerator and warm it up by pressing it all together into a ball with your hands. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin.
Place the dish you are going to cook the pie in over the crust and cut around it so that the crust will cover the whole bottom of the pan.
Place the crust dough into the pan.
Pour the apples from the sauce pan over the crust until it is just below the level of the edge of the pan.
Carefully pour the pumpkin mixture over the apple mixture, stopping before it overflows the pan.
Roll out the leftover dough, and cut out shapes with fun fall cookie cutters to decorate the top of the pie.
Get to decorating.
Put pie in the 375 degree oven for 50 minutes, let cool, and enjoy!
