This pie was perfect! As a child we used to have Sugar Cream Pies at Christmas time, this satisfied my cravings! I made the recipe exactly as written, except I used a frozen deep-dish pie crust instead of homemade. Also, I did have to cook it about 10 minutes longer than instructed.

A very comforting dessert. I have never had this pie before, but it was delicious. I am putting in my Fall recipes because it has sort of a sweet mildness and the cinnamon and nutmeg make it just the thing to have with a cup of tea or glass of milk. Will make again, next time with the crust you suggested.

Very nice recipe. Made it as a suprise for my bf who mentioned having it as a child. He and his family were very impressed. His sister liked it so much she wanted it for her birthday instead of a cake.
