Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
Gradually whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and salt until fully incorporated.
Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust, being careful not to overfill.
Carefully place the pie dish onto the middle rack of the preheated oven.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before serving, or refrigerate for a chilled custard experience.
Slice into 8 servings and enjoy a simple, heartwarming dessert!
