Directions Preheat oven to 450°. Mix sugar, flour, and nutmeg; put aside. Slice one-third of pie dough into 2x1-inch strips after rolling it into a 1/8-inch circle on a lightly floured board.
Sprinkle half the sugar mixture over half the strips in a deep 12-inch enamel-coated cast-iron pan or ovenproof casserole. Dot with half butter. Layer sugar and butter again.
Roll remaining two-thirds circle of pie dough to 1/8-in. thick. Place over filling and push against skillet or casserole sides.
Bake crust for 1 hour till golden brown. You can loosely foil the edge in the last 15-20 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Remove foil. Wire-rack cool.
