Instructions:
-
**Preheat & Prep:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a store-bought crust, make sure it’s at room temperature.
-
2. **Whisk Dry Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt. This ensures everything is well combined and prevents lumps.
-
3. **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
-
4. **Marry the Mixtures:** Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. It will be a thin, pourable batter.
-
5. **Fill the Crust:** Carefully pour the batter into your unbaked pie crust. Don’t worry if it looks very liquidy; it will set beautifully!
-
6. **Bake to Perfection:** Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any potential spills, though it rarely happens with this pie) and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
-
7. **Cool Down:** Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This is crucial for it to set properly.
-
8. **Serve & Enjoy!** This pie is fantastic on its own, but a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes it to another level!
