Tips:

  • For a smoother custard, use an immersion blender to blend the cooked squash mixture until smooth before adding it to the pie crust.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can also mash the cooked squash with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
  • Be sure to use a deep-dish pie crust for this recipe, as the custard filling is quite thick.
  • If you don't have a deep-dish pie crust, you can use a regular pie crust and simply trim the edges so that they are even with the top of the pie plate.
  • Be sure to pre-bake the pie crust before filling it, as this will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • To pre-bake the pie crust, simply prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Once the pie is baked, let it cool completely before serving. This will allow the custard to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Sweet Hubbard Squash Custard Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy custard filling and flaky pie crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
