How to Bake a Winter Squash Pie

Winter squash pie is a delicious and nutritious dessert that's perfect for the colder months. Here's a simple recipe to make your own:

Ingredients: - 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought) - 2 cups mashed winter squash (such as butternut or acorn squash) - 1 cup heavy cream - 2/3 cup brown sugar - 2 eggs - 1 teaspoon cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg - 1/2 teaspoon ginger - 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare your pie crust by rolling it out and placing it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and crimp them with a fork or your fingers.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed winter squash, heavy cream, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

4. Pour the mixture into the pie crust, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.

5. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.

7. Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

Enjoy your delicious winter squash pie!
