I grew up eating delicious traditional Portuguese pumpkin desserts. But I’ve never had pumpkin spice pie until I baked one myself.
I chose a cookie and butter crust, although a quick google search leads me to believe this is not a typical crust for pumpkin pie. I thought it would pair incredibly well because, like squash, it has an autumnal feel to it.
And I used butternut squash because I’m currently in love with my roasted butternut squash puree and I use it for everything!
