  • step 1
    ingredients 1 prepared Sweet Pie Crust
    instructions Roll the pie dough to a thickness of 1/8-inch and, working carefully, fit the rolled dough into a 10-inch pie pan. Crimp the edges decoratively and then refrigerate the shell, lightly covered, for at least 1 hour and up to overnight before proceeding.

  • step 4

    1/2 teaspoon freshly grated Nutmeg
    1 large Eggs
    1/2 teaspoons pure Vanilla Extract
    1 1/2 cups Pecan pieces
