How to Make Butternut Squash Pie

• Step 1 – Prepare Oven – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
• Step 2 – Cut Butternut Squash – Cut the butternut squash in half and scoop out the seeds in the squash. 

Step 3 – Place on baking sheet and bake – Place the square cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes or until the square is tender.  

Step 4 – Cool Squash and puree – Let the squash cool for 30 minutes to 60 minutes, then scoop out the squash from the shell and place in a food processor.  Add the butter to the food processor and blend until squash is pureed.  

Step 5 – Mix Ingredients with squash purée – Then add 2 cups of the butternut squash puree to a large mixing bowl.  Add in the brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Then stir in the remaining ingredients until just combined. 

Step 6 – Add squash mixture to pie crust – Place the pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan and crimp down the edges.  Pour the pie filling into the pie crust.  

• Step 7 – Bake Pie – Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-60 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center of the pie is still slightly jiggly. 
• Step 8 – Pie Crust Tip – If the crust is getting too brown while baking, cover the crust with aluminum foil halfway through the bake time to keep the crust from getting too brown.
• Step 9 – Cool, Serve and Enjoy – Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours and then the pie is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!  

Expert Tips

• Crust – If the crust is getting too brown while baking, cover the crust with aluminum foil halfway through the bake time. This will keep the crust from getting too brown.  
• Make in advance – This pie can easily be made the night before serving it. This is really helpful before holidays and will give your time plenty of time to set.
• Use a wire rack to cool –  It is important that the pie has plenty of time to cool at room temperature before slicing. It needs enough time to completely set. I use a wire rack so that it can cool for about 2 hours.
• Cook the squash –  The butternut squash can be cooked a day in advance and pureed. Refrigerate until ready to mix with the other pie ingredients.
• Spices –  Feel free to add extra cinnamon if you like a stronger flavor.
• Cutting the pie – Use a sharp knife to cut and wipe clean in between slices. This will help get nice clean slices each time.
