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

Ingredients

Dough for single-crust pie
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup mashed cooked winter squash
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash salt
Whipped cream, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge.

In a bowl, combine eggs, sugar, squash, cream, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; pour into crust.
Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°; bake until set, 40-45 minutes. Cool for 1 hour on a wire rack. Refrigerate until chilled. If desired, serve with whipped cream.

Dough for single-crust pie (9 in.)

Combine 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 tsp. salt; cut in 1/2 cup cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add 3-5 Tbsp. ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
