Spiced Butternut-Squash Pie image

Butternut squash gives this pie a rich, buttery taste, but you can use pumpkin instead; substitute 1 2/3 cups canned pumpkin puree and skip step 1.

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds butternut squash (1 medium), halved lengthwise, peeled, and seeded (see below), and chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 cup half-and-half
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 recipe Pie Crust for Spiced Butternut-Squash Pie, one disk formed and prebaked
Whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in center. Place squash in a medium saucepan, and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to a simmer, and cook until the tip of a paring knife easily pierces squash, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, and set aside to cool.
  • Transfer squash to a food processor. Add half-and-half, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; puree until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add eggs, and pulse until combined.
  • Place pie crust (in pie pan) on a baking sheet. Pour filling into crust. Bake, rotating once halfway through, until filling is set, 50 minutes to 1 hour (tent loosely with foil if edges are browning too quickly).
  • Cool completely. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

This pie is disgusting. I threw it away after one bite.

The pie was bland and flavorless. I won't be making it again.

The crust was too thick and dry. I'll try using a different recipe next time.

The pie was too runny. I think I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

The pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think I can fix that by reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of butternut squash, but this pie was delicious. I'll definitely be making it again.

The pie is even better the next day, so I always make it a day ahead of time.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash.

I added a dollop of whipped cream to each slice of pie. It was the perfect finishing touch.

I wasn't sure how I would like the butternut squash in a pie, but I was pleasantly surprised. The filling was smooth and delicious.

The pie was easy to make and turned out perfectly. I used a pre-made pie crust to save time.

This butternut squash pie was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this pie again.
