Cinnamon Pie

I made this for Thanksgiving - I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's best with a big scoop of whipped cream!

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs
1 can evaporated milk
1/4 cup all purpose flour
3 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (skimpy quarter cup)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pie crust - large!
Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll and fit a pie crust into a standard 9 inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and place the pie crust in the refrigerator.
Place the cream cheese and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat of high until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Scrape the bowl, then beat in the eggs. Scrape the bowl again, then set the mixer on low and mix in cream, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and nutmeg until very smooth.
Pour the cinnamon filling into the prepared pie pan. Bake for 35 minutes, until the center seems set when jiggled. Bake another 5 minutes if needed. Cool completely.
When ready to serve, dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar. Cut and serve with whipped cream if desired.
