Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light. You can also substitute the light cream with half-and-half for a creamier texture. If you want to enhance the spices, a touch of cinnamon could be a delightful addition. Make sure to scatter the nutmeg evenly to avoid concentrated spots of flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pie a day in advance. Just bake it and let it cool completely before refrigerating. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, and you can serve it straight from the fridge or warm it up before serving.
What can I use instead of light cream?
If you don't have light cream, you can substitute it with whole milk combined with a tablespoon of melted butter, or use half-and-half for a similar richness. Just keep in mind that the texture might vary slightly.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the filling is set and doesn't jiggle in the center. It should have a slight golden color on top. If it seems to be browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil to prevent burning while the center continues to bake.
