Best Grandmas Delicate And Delicious Squash Pie Recipes
GRANDMA WILLIAMS'S SQUASH PIE
"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.

Steps:
- Put the squash in a large pot and fill with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve and press the squash with the back of a spoon to remove the excess water.
- Preheat the oven to 350 ̊ F. Transfer the squash to a blender. Add the butter and flour and blend until pureed. Add the sugar, lemon extract and eggs. Blend until smooth. Evenly divide the filling among the pie shells. (If using refrigerated pie dough instead of frozen crusts, ease into three 9-inch pie pans and crimp the edges before filling.)
- Bake until the filling is set, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let the pies cool to room temperature before slicing.

Like my Grandma Bessie did, I grow my own squash, cook it, then freeze it in two-cup portions to use in this recipe. It rivals any pumpkin pie!
