Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie

I made this pie for Thanksgiving, to me it is the perfect marriage of apple butter and pumpkin -- both things that I love.  My fiance said that it was good, but that he would prefer more pumpkin.

I found this particular recipe in a Dixie Crystals Sugar ad in a magazine.

ingredients
for pie
9" refrigerated pie crust
3 large eggs
1C pumpkin puree
1C apple butter
1/2C sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
pinch nutmeg
1/4C half-and-half

3/4C all-purpose flour
1/4C + 1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 stick cold salted butter
1/2C walnut pieces

4. Add pumpkin, apple butter, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg and whisk until well combined.
5. Stir in half-and-half.

7. Prepare topping by combining flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
8. Using a cheese grater, grate very cold butter into small pieces directly onto flour mixture.
