Steps:
- Make the filling: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9-inch-wide, 2-inch-deep pie dish with butter.
- Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash on an unlined baking sheet with the cut side up and drizzle the olive oil over each half. Sprinkle the squash with the salt and pepper, making sure to cover completely. Roast the squash until tender and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the squash from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
- Peel the skin from the squash and transfer the flesh to a large bowl. Use your hands to gently crush the squash into bite-size pieces. Add the sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla and five-spice. Use a wooden spoon to bring the mixture together, then pour into the prepared pie dish.
- Make the topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar and melted butter with a wooden spoon. Add the flour and salt and use your hands to mix until the texture resembles coarse sand.
- Sprinkle the topping over the squash, covering completely. Arrange the pecans halves on top in concentric circles.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and the squash begins to bubble underneath, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy!
