Ingredients

  • Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups mashed cooked butternut squash
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs

Directions

  • Line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry; trim and flute edges. Cut out scraps with a leaf-shaped cookie cutter for garnish if desired; place on a baking sheet and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Beat in the squash, butter, eggs, water and vanilla until smooth. Pour into crust.
  • Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 35-40 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Bake leaf cutouts for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool pie and cutouts on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate pie until chilled. Garnish with pastry leaves and whipped cream if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.

I personally thought this pie was too sweet, but that could be because I am eating healthier these days and don't have the same sweet tooth I used to have. The pie was very creamy.

I add a little pumpkin pie spice to my squash pies. I have been making squash pie for years, and I prefer them to pumpkin. They taste very similar. Yum Yum. I will add this recipe to my collection also. Thanks.
