Steps

1. ### How to Make an Yummy Butternut Squash Pie: A Step-by-Step Guide
3. Butternut squash pie is not just a delightful holiday treat but also a great way to enjoy autumn's bounty in your dessert. Here’s how you can make this delicious and cozy pie at home.
5. #### Ingredients Needed:
6. - 1 large butternut squash (about 2 pounds)
7. - 3 tablespoons of butter
8. - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
9. - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10. - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
11. - 1/4 teaspoon salt
12. - 3 eggs, slightly beaten
13. - 1/2 cup heavy cream
14. - 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
16. #### Equipment Needed:
17. - Large pot
18. - Baking dish
19. - Mixing bowl
20. - Spatula
22. ### Step-by-Step Instructions:
24. #### 1. Prepare the Butternut Squash
25. - **Peeling and Cutting:** Start by cutting off both ends of the butternut squash. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the skin away from the fruit. Cut the squash into quarters and then slice it thinly.
26. - **Roasting:** Place the sliced squash in a large pot with a few tablespoons of water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Once done, drain the excess liquid and let it cool slightly.
28. #### 2. Make the Pie Filling
29. - In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted butternut squash with 3 tablespoons of butter. Mash it well to achieve a smooth consistency.
30. - Stir in sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until thoroughly mixed.
32. #### 3. Prepare the Crust
33. - If using store-bought crusts, follow package instructions for baking. For homemade crust:
34. - In a food processor, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
35. - Add 1 cup cold butter cubes and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs.
36. - Gradually add ice water (about 3-4 tablespoons) and continue to pulse until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
38. #### 4. Assemble the Pie
39. - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
40. - Roll out the chilled pie crust on a lightly floured surface until large enough to cover a 9-inch pie dish.
41. - Place the rolled-out dough in the pie dish, trim any excess, and flute the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust several times with a fork.
43. #### 5. Fill the Pie
44. - Pour the prepared butternut squash mixture into the crust-lined pie pan.
45. - Beat the eggs and stir in the heavy cream. Pour this mixture over the filling to coat it evenly.
47. #### 6. Bake the Butternut Squash Pie
48. - Cover the edges of the pie with a pie shield or aluminum foil to prevent burning.
49. - Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
51. #### 7. Serve and Enjoy!
52. - Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. You can serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
54. ### Tips for Perfecting Your Butternut Squash Pie:
55. - Ensure that your butternut squash is fully cooked; this makes the filling smoother.
56. - For an extra touch, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top just before serving.
58. By following these steps and using quality ingredients, you’ll be able to create a delicious butternut squash pie that will delight all who taste it. This recipe is perfect for autumn gatherings or as a special dessert during any season!
