Grandma’s excellent recipe for Old Fashioned Cream Custard Pie is also incredibly simple to make! With velvety smooth custard, incredible taste, and exactly the right texture. You can also save time by using a pre-made refrigerated pie crust or your favorite handmade crust recipe!

This week, I’ve been posting a lot of my late grandmother’s pie recipes–please stay tuned for many more before baking season begins–this one here is a family favorite! This is a fantastic yet simple pie recipe.
It’s just waiting for you to add your favorite toppings! My husband enjoys his with caramel sauce, but I prefer mine with just a dollop of whipped cream! Also, if you want to make it richer and more elegant, add an extra yolk.

It’s really simple! I basically threw everything in a dish, mixed it for about a minute, poured it into the pie shell, and baked it! There is only one major issue….

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
1 white egg
four huge eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 quart thick cream
1 and 1/2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg plus additional for dusting

Wrap the edges of the pie loosely to prevent them from burning. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the center is set. Allow to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator. until ready to serve.
