Original Recipe Yield 1 - 9 inch pie
 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
  • 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground allspice
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • 1 pinch ground ginger
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
