This butternut squash pie is made with cream and brown sugar and spices.
INGREDIENTS:
crust for a 1-crust 9-inch pie, homemade or purchased
1 butternut squash, about 2 pounds (2 cups mashed)
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
dash ground red pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Sweetened whipped cream
Ground cinnamon
PREPARATION:
Prepare crust; place crust in a 9-inch deep-dish pieplate; trim and crimp edges. Cover and place in freezer while filling is being prepared.
Cut butternut squash in half lengthwise. Place squash halves, cut sides up, in a shallow baking dish or pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50 to 55 minutes or until squash is tender, basting frequently with butter. Let squash cool enough to handle.
Remove and discard squash seeds. Remove squash pulp, discarding shells. Mash pulp. Place 2 cups mashed pulp in a large bowl.
Add 1 cup whipping cream, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, ginger, allspice, red pepper, and the beaten eggs to mashed squash pulp; whisk until well blended. Pour mixture into prepared pastry shell.
Bake squash pie at 350° for 40 to 50 minutes, or until set in center. (Shield piecrust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning, if necessary). Cool completely.
Garnish each serving with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream; sprinkle each dollop with cinnamon.
