How to Make Better Than Pumpkin Uses Butternut Squash Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cooked and pureed butternut squash, brown sugar, cornstarch, eggs, milk, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. Make sure there are no lumps.
  3. Pour the filling into your unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
  4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  5. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
