I've added nutmeg on top, but the way we like it best is nutmeg on top but cinnamon and ground pecans added to the crust. It works with a regular rolled pastry crust as well as a graham cracker crust. I've never tried adding fruit because it is already my family's favorite.
-
Added 1/4 - 1/2 cup roughly ground ( very very small pieces of nuts but not totally powdered) pecans and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to pastry crust recipe, doubled vanilla, sprinkled nutmeg on top of filling prior to placing under the broiler. Made same additions to graham cracker crust recipe, using a little extra butter to keep wet/dry ratio where it needs to be to make the graham crust come out right.
-
A touch of nutmeg and there is nothing more addictive! It is not bland if you create the right salty crust and use nutmeg. That is how the original recipe read. Something was changed.

I have been baking this pie for years. I have always sprinkled the top with nutmeg,then place pie under broiler for a couple of minutes.
