Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. This ensures the pie bakes evenly, creating a perfect texture as it cooks.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the brown sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat them until smooth and well blended.
  • Mix in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until everything is thoroughly combined and fragrant.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed in before adding the next, to create a smooth filling.
  • Pour in the heavy whipping cream and flour, mixing gently until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Pour the pie filling into the unbaked pie crust, smoothing it out evenly.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the edges are puffed and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Let the pie cool on a rack to room temperature, then cover and chill for 3-4 hours to set before slicing.
