Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ½ pounds hubbard squash - cut into chunks and seeds removed
½ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream
1 ½ teaspoons apple pie spice
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons salted butter, softened
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  • Reduce temperature setting on oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place 2 cups of squash in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the brown sugar, eggs, cream, apple pie spice, salt, and butter; process until smooth.
  • Pour the squash mixture into the pie crust. Bake until the filling rises, about 1 hour.
