Last week, I got the courage to bake a pie. My daughter love pumpkin pie so I thought of surprising her with a pie when she comes home from school. This is not a traditional pumpkin pie but a squash pie. I still have many acorn squash from our garden last summer and after cooking sevral dishes using the squash, my family are getting tired of it so I thought why not try to use it for making a pie.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups baked acorn squash
- 1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Directions:
For Acorn Squash Puree
- Wash the squash and cut them into halves. Scrape the seeds and the stringy part out. Once you scraped the inside, placed the into a foil lined baking sheets (as shown below) for 40 minutes on a 350 F.
- Wash the seeds and roast it for 30 minutes. It's a great snack while you are watching TV or while preparing the pie.
- Once the squash are baked, let it cool and scrape the meat out. Put it ion a bowl and set aside.
For Pie Crust:
- Combine an entire bag of Glutino pie crust mix with 3/4 cup (12 tbsp) cold butter and mix it until it's crumbly.
- Whisk 2 eggs and 4 tbsp vinegar together until it's foamy. Mix this into the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture holds together.
- Divide dough in half. Refrigerate or freeze one for later use. Chill the other half for about an hour. Allow the dough to rest at a room temperature for 20 minutes before rolling.
For the Pie:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Whisk squash, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, spices and salt in medium bowl until smooth. Pour into crust and sprinkle the brown sugar in top.
- Bake 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted 1 inch from crust comes out clean.
It was a nice pie, perfect for our Thanksgiving dinner!

i have never tried to bake a squash pie but i'd love to make a try, what i like about squash acorn is that you can bake it and just put butter and sugar in it and it's really a good dish.
Looks delish! I wonder, what's the difference between a pumpkin and a squash? I actually thought they're the same. Lol!
That pie looks so good! You make it look so easy for beginners like me!
I have never thought about making something like this. I wonder if it tastes a little like pumpkin pie!

This looks great! I actually have a bunch of squash that mom just gave me. I will have to give this a try.
I'm not gluten free or anything, but I love the glutino brand products. I'm particularly in love with glutino chocolate covered pretzels. They are addicting! Oh and your pie sounds lovely! Never thought to do that with squash.
Yum that looks delicious. I've never thought of making a pie like this. I wonder if my kiddos would enjoy this as much as my husband and I would! - Jeanine
