Squash Pie Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Squash

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cubed squash on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender. Allow to cool slightly, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth.

2. 2

   Brown the Butter

   In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until it turns a golden brown color and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Mix the Filling

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the pureed squash, brown butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.

4. 4

   Bake the Pie

   Pour the filling into a pre-baked pie crust. Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving.
