Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a blender for 1 minute.
- Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled 10-inch pie pan.
- Spread cinnamon and nutmeg over the top of the mixture.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes until set and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use whole milk instead of low-fat. If you don't have Bisquick, a homemade mix of flour, baking powder, and salt works well. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg directly into the blender for extra flavor. Consider topping the pie with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for a delightful finish that complements its sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is delicious on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve it alongside a fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast or a cup of Viennese Cocoa for a cozy dessert experience. It can also be enjoyed for breakfast, making it a versatile addition to your meal options.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice individual portions and warm them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until heated through, or place the whole pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use an alternative to eggs in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute eggs with flaxseed meal or applesauce for a vegan version. Use 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg, or replace each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce. This will alter the texture slightly but still yield a delicious pie.
What can I do if the pie doesn't set properly?
If the pie is still jiggly after baking, it may need more time in the oven. Continue to bake it in 5-minute increments until it's set and golden on top. Make sure your oven is properly calibrated, as baking times can vary based on oven performance.
Is there a way to make this pie gluten-free?
Absolutely! To make a gluten-free version, substitute Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix or use a combination of almond flour and cornstarch. Ensure that all other ingredients, like sugar and vanilla, are also gluten-free. This will allow you to enjoy this dessert without gluten.
