Preheat oven to 425F and place the rack on the bottom rung of the oven.In a food processor, puree tofu, vanilla, apple butter, pumpkin, sugar, syrup, salt, spice, egg and evaporated milk until perfectly smooth.Spread into the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 20 minutes at 425F, then reduce oven to 350F and bake a further 45 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the pie sit inside for 1 hour, then remove and cool to room temperature before cutting (ideally, chill this overnight - the flavours really blend well!)Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JO_JO_BA.
