GRANDMA WILLIAMS'S SQUASH PIE



Grandma Williams's Squash Pie image

"This year my grandma and I clocked more laughs and tears on the phone than ever. If I had it my way, our chats would happen in person while eating homemade pie or cake, with plenty of grandma hugs for dessert. Her empowering stories about growing up in Fayetteville, NC, make me dream bigger and run toward the work. She still won't video-chat, but this year she went old school by writing and mailing a letter to me. (Thank you, US Postal Service workers!) I wish I could bake one of her famous pies for all of you, especially this lemony custard-like squash pie. Grandma breaks all the rules when she makes it and everything comes out fine!" says Sunny.

Yield Three 9-inch squash pies

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium yellow squash, sliced into 1-inch-thick rounds
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon extract
3 large eggs
3 9-inch prepared pie shells, defrosted if frozen, or 3 rounds refrigerated pie dough

Steps:
