To make this custard pie, all you need a six ingredients. Ingredients that are easy to find and readily available. For the pie crust, you can either use store-bought or make it from scratch. I use evaporated milk or heavy cream because I want my pie filling to be even richer. Or you can swap it with regular milk if you prefer extra creamy and sweet pie filling.

3 c. whole milk room temperature
2 tsp vanilla

How to make Custard Pie
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using a nonstick spray, lightly grease a 9½-inch pie pan.
Step 2: In the prepared pie pan, place the unbaked pie crust, pressing the dough against the sides of the pie pan.
Step 3: Whisk the sugar, eggs, nutmeg, and vanilla. Then, add the milk and beat it well until smooth. Pour this into the pie shell. On top, lightly sprinkle the nutmeg.
Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes or until the pie is set.
Step 5: Remove from the oven when done and slice the pie. Serve and enjoy!
