Note: This recipe appears in the WW New Complete Cookbook. I wanted to make a delicious dessert and the recipe called for this recipe. This is a very simple recipe that can be used to make any pie or cheesecake recipe. I added ground cinnamon to this recipe because cinnamon goes well with nutmeg and cinnamon goes well with any pie crust recipe.
