How to Make Single Crust Quebec Sugar Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Pour the flour and sugar mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust, ensuring it evenly covers the bottom.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg until smooth.
  5. Gently pour the cream mixture over the flour and sugar in the pie shell.
  6. Dot the top of the filling with 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown. The center should be just slightly jiggly.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
