Mrs. Browns Winter Squash Pie

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the rolled-out crust.
  3. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and place on the baking sheet cut-side down.
  4. Bake for about 30 minutes, until tender.
  5. Once the squash is cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it.
  6. Measure out 1 cup of squash and refrigerate any leftovers for another use.
  7. Put the milk in a saucepan over medium high heat and stir in the squash.
  8. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until the milk is steaming.
  9. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt, then add the eggs and vanilla and stir until thoroughly combined.
  10. Pour the filling into the crust and sprinkle with a bit of nutmeg.
  11. Bake for about 45 minutes, until set in the center.
  12. A toothpick inserted 1 inch from the edge should come out clean and the center should have a slight shimmer.
  13. Cool on a wire rack for 1 to 2 hours before slicing.
  14. Serve slightly warm or cool.
