  4. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, evaporated milk, egg, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, clove, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Stir the thickened sugar mixture into the pumpkin mixture until well combined.
  7. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie shell.
  8. Arrange the thinly sliced apples evenly over the top of the pumpkin filling.

Note

Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure the custard filling sets properly.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices gently in the oven or microwave.

For a crispier crust, consider blind baking the pie shell for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.

You can substitute fresh pumpkin puree for canned, but ensure it is drained well to avoid a watery filling.
