Line a 9-inch pie plate with pie crust; crimp the edges.

Pour the filling into the crust; gently tap the plate on the counter to release air bubbles. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until the center is just set, 30 to 40 minutes more. A paring knife inserted into the filling, 1 inch from the edge, should come out clean. Let it cool completely before slicing and serving; garnish with whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg.
