The Thanksgiving Pie You Need to Try | Claire Saffitz
Looking to switch things up from the traditional pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving? 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.
