Preheat oven to 400°F and line a pie pan with the crust, crimping the edges.
Prick holes across the bottom, line with foil or parchment, fill with pie weights, and bake 8 minutes.
Remove the weights and foil, then bake 5 more minutes.
Whisk together applesauce, lemon juice, sherry, cream, melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and eggs.
Pour into the crust and bake 15 minutes.
Reduce oven to 350°F and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
Cool completely before slicing.
