Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Flute the edges if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, apple butter, and light brown sugar. Blend well with a whisk or a hand mixer until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the half-and-half cream, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 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. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Slice and enjoy your delightful low-sodium apple butter pumpkin pie!
