- 1/2 C medium brown sugar
- 3 eggs slightly beaten
- 1/2 C evaporated milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg (you can use fresh!)
- 1/2 tsp all spice

Whisk pie crust dry ingredients. Pour into food processor with chilled butter, then pulse until resembling course wet sand. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time and pulse until ball forms.


Take out, place between 2 pieces of floured parchment paper, roll out into disc (1/8 inch thick). Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes. Form into pie pan, folding over, or crimping
the edges.

Whisk together all the filling ingredients until smooth. Batter will be thin and runny. Place inside pie shell. Bake for 45 minutes. Take out, should be slightly jiggly. It will solidify further as it cools down.
