I made the pie as directed with the exception of cutting the nutmeg in half, adding an extra 1/4 t of cinnamon and 1/4 t cloves-just personal preference. The filling was perfect- not at all runny. I let it get really thick before taking off the stove. Easy recipe-toughest part is actually getting the filling in the pie-really tempting to just get out the ice cream!
