BUTTERNUT PUMPKIN PIE
America's favorite pumpkin purée is actually made from squash, so why not turn to the earthy sweetness of fresh butternut squash? It's dead easy to prepare at home and tastes more vibrantly "pumpkin" than anything from a can.

Steps:
- Prepare the squash purée:
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat to 400°F. Split the squash lengthways, scoop out the seeds, and place cut side down on a foil-lined aluminum baking sheet. Roast until fork-tender, about 45 minutes.
- When the squash is cool enough to handle, use a large spoon to scrape out the pulp. Pulse in a food processor until smooth, or rub through a double-mesh sieve. Measure out 14 ounces (1 3/4 cups) squash purée. Use warm, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Make the pie:
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat to 375°F. In a medium bowl, whisk the squash purée, Quick Condensed Milk, brown sugar, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves, butter, and eggs until smooth. Pour into the baked crust, place on an aluminum baking sheet, and bake until the custard has puffed into a gentle dome, about 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking until the custard is firm around the edges but still wobbly in the very center, about 25 minutes more (200°F; 210°F if the probe touches the crust). Let cool at room temperature until the custard is set, about 2 hours.
- Cut the pie with a chef's knife. If you like, serve with dollops of whipped cream and a sprinkling of crushed toffee. Wrapped in plastic, leftovers will keep for up to 4 days at room temperature.
- Make Ahead
- From the No-Stress All-Butter Pastry Crust, which can be rolled, shaped, and frozen months in advance, to the Quick Condensed Milk and squash purée, every element of this recipe can be made well ahead, so don't feel as if you need to tackle it all at once.
- Leftover squash purée can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
IMPOSSIBLE BUTTERNUT SQUASH PIE (LIKE PUMPKIN)
This is a BUTTERNUT SQUASH PIE. I have been making this pie for years. This pie makes it's own crust, with the help of a blender! A quick & very easy recipe. It won 2nd prize at the Indiana Fair. It is always a winner! Guests think it is the best "pumpkin" pie they ever had! Are they surprised when I tell them it is a squash...

Steps:
- 1. pre-heat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9 inch pyrex pie plate with cooking spray. In a blender, place all 7 pie ingredients. Cover and blend on high for about 2 minutes. or until smooth.. Pour into your pie plate. Do not over fill ! Sprinkle a little nutmeg on top. If you have any leftovers...put in a small or individual pie pan. Keep an eye on the smaller pan...as it will be done before the larger pie! ** NOTE: Nice to have the smaller one to taste....tee hee.
- 2. Bake about 45-50 minutes....until center is dry. Take out and cool on a wire rack, for about an hour or two. Then put in refrigerator at least 2-3 hours before serving. When ready to serve....put dollops of whipped cream on serving pieces... and top with a pecans.......looks so pretty!!!! ENJOY!!!!! I think this was a Pillsbury recipe, from years ago...that I adapted to my taste ...for using squash. Squash seems to have a more delicate, and milder taste than pumpkin. I do hope you will try this recipe... and please let me know....Thank you.

BRANDIED PUMPKIN PIE
Pumpkin pie made with canned pumpkin is all well and good, but pumpkin pie made with fresh butternut squash purée is even better. Thin-skinned and easy to cut, butternut squash turns soft and velvety if you roast it, and a quick whirl in the food processor or a blender quickly reduces to it to a luscious purée. Here we've kept the seasonings on the light side to best showcase the character of the squash. But feel free to amp up the cinnamon and ginger if you like a spicier slice. The brandy is optional, and if you'd rather not use it, you can leave it out (or substitute another spirit; bourbon is excellent). If you bake the pie a day ahead, keep it covered at room temperature until serving time - the refrigerator wreaks havoc on the crust. (Don't let making your own pie crust intimidate you: our pie guide has everything you need to know.)

Steps:
- Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together the flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture forms chickpea-size pieces. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough just comes together. It should be moist, but not wet. On a lightly floured surface, gather the dough into a ball. Flatten into a disk with the heel of your hand. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer crust to a 9-inch pie plate. Fold over any excess dough, then crimp edges. Prick crust all over with a fork, then chill crust for 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, heat oven to 375 degrees. Line chilled crust with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 20 minutes; remove foil and weights and bake until pale golden, 5 to 7 minutes more. Cool on rack until needed.
- Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, eggs, cream, dark brown sugar, brandy, ginger, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the nutmeg and clove. Pour mixture into the cooled pie shell. Transfer pie to a large baking sheet. Bake until crust is golden and center jiggles just slightly when shaken, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
