How To Make butternut squash pie, by cass
-
Step 1Prepare 2 - 9 in. unbaked pie crusts and set aside. Preheat oven to 425
-
Step 2In a small bowl, mix the spices with the sugar, set aside.
-
Step 3In a large bowl, beat eggs; add the squash and mix well, add the milk, stirring till well blended. Add the spice mixture, whisk till thoroughly blended.
-
Step 4Now, it's ready to go into the pie crust. Pour even amounts into each pie crust. Cover the edges of crust with foil; this helps to keep it from getting too brown.
-
Step 5Bake at 425 degree for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350, an continue to bake another 45 to 50 minutes; or until wooden pick comes out clean.
-
Step 6Remove from oven and place on baking racks to cool. When done cooling, store in the refrigerator.
-
Step 7If only making one pie, half the recipe. I used 9 in. deep dish pie plates, only because I wanted to leave space on top to cover with fresh whipped cream. I would recommend a regular 9 in. pie plate, if not using a topping. Enjoy!
