Number Of Ingredients 13

FOR PASTRY & FILLING
1 box one refrigerated pie crust shell, softened as directed on box (15 oz. size)
2 c cooked and mashed acorn squash, or one 17 oz. box or bag of frozen acorn squash, thawed
1/2 c sugar

1/3 c light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 c firm butter or margarine
1/3 c coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts
