## Ingredients
– 1 pre-made pie crust
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1/2 cup whole milk
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
## Directions
1. First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Fit your pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges for aesthetics, and set it aside.
3. Now, head to your stove and in a medium saucepan, whisk together your sugar and flour until they’re just combined.
4. Pour your heavy cream and milk into the flour-sugar mixture, keeping the heat at medium. Stir constantly to get a smooth blend, continuing until the mix thickens and begins to bubble.
5. Then, remove your creamy blend from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
6. Pour this divine filling into your pie crust and sprinkle with a dusting of ground nutmeg to top it off.
7. The pie then bakes for 45 minutes, or until it’s set and hinting at golden on top.
8. Finally, allow it to cool and refrigerate until chilled, and you’re ready to slice and serve!
