Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, apple butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a fork.
Add beaten eggs and heavy cream to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until smooth and even in texture.
Prepare the 9-inch pie crust in a pie pan, ensuring it's evenly pressed into the pan.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.
