Crust
 
1 box refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
 

DIRECTIONS

1 Heat oven to 425°F. Place 1 pie crust in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Press firmly against side and bottom.
