Crust1/2 cup pecan pieces finely chopped1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs1/4 cup sugar4 tablespoons unsalted butter, meltedFilling1 envelope (1/4 oz.) unflavored gelatin1 8oz pkg cream cheese (at room temp)1/2 cup sugar1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice1 15oz can pumpkin puree1/2 cup heavy cream1/2 cup apple butter
Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9" pie plate with cooking spray. Make crust: spread pecans on a baking sheet, toast until nuts are golden and fragrant about 8 mins, shaking pan twice. Transfer to bowl to cool; chop finely. Mix pecans, graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter until evenly moistened. Press into pie plate. Bake until edges are golden brown (about 10 mins). Let cool on wire rack.
Make filling: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup of cool water and let stand 5 minutes to soften. Using an electric mixer on medium-high, beat cream cheese, sugar, pumpkin spice and salt until smooth. Mix in pumpkin puree. Place bowl of gelatin in a pan of simmering water and warm, stirring until melted (about 2 mins). When gelatin is clear and smooth, remove bowl and stir in 1/2 pumpkin filling. Spoon filling. Fold gelatin mixture into remaining pumpkin filling. In a smaller bowl whip cream until stiff peaks form then fold into pumpkin filling. Spoon filling into pie crust and smooth top. Spoon apple butter around top of filling; press lightly into filling with spoon. Drag a small knife through apple butter in a swirl pattern to create a marble effect, taking care not to hit crust. Chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
