Interesting idea. I'm always looking for ways to use apple butter.

Yumm! I made my own apple butter. Don't know if I would want to spend it this way though! I like apple butter on vanilla ice cream..as well as mincemeat.

I love the way old recipes read, when measurements weren't quite so exacting. Some people today are terrified that if they add an extra grain of salt things will be ruined.

I love apple butter! This is definitely a pie I would like to try. Thanks @donna !

Am a big fan of apple butter. I spread it on toast and especially like it on leftover pancakes. However, I think pies should be reserved for peach, pecan and coconut cream.

I was finally able to source apple butter in a polish superstore nearby looking forward to trying it.

That hominy combo is from the apple country in the Shenandoah Valley, where my people are from.
Bet it would be good with grits and eggs too.

This recipe sounds like one to make. It is a different type of custard pie.

I like trying out a new pie recipe for our family Thanksgiving dinner (since we always have so many pies that if my "experiment" turns out to be less popular, no one will feel shortchanged on dessert). This one sounds very good, so maybe I'll make it this year. But since I'm not a very experienced baker, I have a question: what is "sweet milk?"

 

[donna]

Sweet milk is whole milk.
