Squash Custard Pie image

Acorn squash has been a favorite of mine since I was little and my mother baked it with sugar and cinnamon. This particular pie was something I improvised. We love pumpkin pie, but had fresh squash in excess. So I came up with this new variation! It's good to take to potlucks, to pie or cake walks at school, or to serve as a different dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas. -Mary Kelly, Hopland, California

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

This pie was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
