What is "custard pie"?

Custard pie is a delicious dessert that consists of a sweet and creamy filling made from a mixture of milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla, poured into a pastry crust and baked until set. The custard filling is usually soft and delicate, with a smooth and silky texture, and a rich, sweet flavor that is often enhanced with the addition of spices such as nutmeg or cinnamon. The pastry crust can be made from a variety of flours, including wheat, cornmeal, or graham cracker crumbs, and can be baked until crispy and golden or left soft and crumbly. Custard pie is a classic dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or served with whipped cream or fresh fruit for an extra touch of sweetness.
