This week, Claire Saffitz is making a Candied Butternut Squash Slab Pie, a fun take on a classic Thanksgiving dessert that’s perfect for feeding a crowd. The pie starts with a flaky, buttery crust and a creamy butternut squash filling made with brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and fall spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. To finish, Claire tops the whole thing with thinly sliced butternut squash cooked in caramel, butter, and vanilla. If you’re looking for something a little different to bring to Thanksgiving this year, this might be your new favorite pie. It’s got all those familiar fall flavors you’d expect from pumpkin pie, just with a little twist. #ClaireSaffitz #ThanksgivingDesserts #ThanksgivingPie Candied Butternut Squash Slab Pie Pie Dough 1.5x recipe pie dough Butternut Squash Filling 16 ounces chopped raw peeled butternut squash, cooked in: 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (71g) ⅔ cup packed dark or light brown sugar (133g) ¾ cup heavy cream (170g), at room temperature 4 large eggs (200g), at room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoons ground ginger 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt ¼ teaspoon ground allspice ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (preferably freshly grated) Pinch of ground cloves Candied Butternut Squash Topping 15 ounces butternut squash neck, peeled, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced 1 cup sugar – 3 tablespoons water → caramel 2 tablespoons butter ½ cup water Pinch of salt and splash of vanilla extract Chapters: 00:00 Start 01:15 Ingredients & Special Equipment 03:15 Make The Crust 06:20 Prepare The Squash 09:23 Make The Filling 10:38 How To Par-Bake Crust 11:57 How To Make Candied Squash 15:10 Butternut Filling 17:39 How To Bake Pie 20:45 Serve Pie What's for Dessert by Claire Saffitz is out now: https://geni.us/WjcIbfp Dessert Person Online: https://www.dessertperson.com/ Claire on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/csaffitz/?h… Claire Merchandise: https://www.dessertperson.com/buystuff Penguin Random House Books: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/ Video Series: Producer/Director: Vincent Cross Camera Operator: Calvin Robertson Editor/Motion Graphics: Bryant Alvarez
