  • 2 tablespoons egg whites
  • 1 12 teaspoons sugar
  • 14 cup water
  • 1 12 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 1 14 cups pumpkin
  • 12 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 18 teaspoon ginger

Method

  • Using pie shell ingredients, blend together flour, sugar, & salt.
  • Cut in shortening.
  • Add egg white, vinegar, and water.
  • Mix well.
  • On floured work surface, roll out 1/4 inch (or less) thick.
  • Place in deep pie dish and trim overhanging edges.
  • You will have extra dough left--set it aside for now.
  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Using filling ingredients, combine apple butter, pumpkin, sugar, salt, & spices in bowl.
  • Stir in slightly beaten egg whites.
  • Gradually add milk & mix well.
  • Pour into pie shell.
  • Lightly brush exposed pie crust with egg white.
  • Cover edges of shell with foil.
  • Bake for 25 minutes.
  • While baking, use cookie cutters to cut shapes out of remaining pie dough.
  • Brush tops of dough shapes with egg white & place in your own pattern on top of filling (I usually do hearts or stars).
  • Remove foil from pie shell edges & return to oven for 15 more minutes until set.
