Ingredients
- 1 9 inch deep dish pie crust, frozen or homemade
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg plus additional for the top

- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Set aside.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, sift together the sugar, flour, salt and nutmeg using a whisk.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla.
- Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until fully combined. Pour evenly into the pie shell. Sprinkle the top lightly with additional nutmeg, if desired.
