This pie is not overly sweet; it’s the perfect complement to chicken and meat dishes. An added benefit is that it tastes equally good served warm or at room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Mix all the ingredients together (aside from the pie shell). If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more soy milk. Pour it into the pie shell. You will have a little extra filling; this can be used to make muffins. (You should have enough for two muffins or several mini muffins.)
Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and vanilla sugar if desired. Bake for 45 minutes. This pie freezes very well.
Notes:
When I double this recipe, I use 1/3 cup oil and 1/4 cup applesauce, 5 eggs, and 2/3 cup soy milk. It yields approximately two 9-inch-round pans and one 7-inch-round.
Variations:
You can top with your favorite crunchy topping made of flour, brown sugar, oil/margarine, and pecans (if you use them on Rosh HaShanah). This pie tastes delicious without the crust as well.

This recipe is soooo delicious. I use almond milk instead of soy milk. I add vanilla extract 1 teaspoon. sometimes I sprinkle brown sugar on the top mixed with cinnamon (1 tsp.)
I've been making this for years (without any topping). Older people like it, kids like it, it's just really good and easy!
How to convert to frozen? I hope this isn't a dumb question: The recipe calls for 1 butternut squash, weighing 2.2 lbs, peeled, cooked, and mashed. If , before cooking, the squash weighs 2.2 lbs, how much does it weigh after being cooked, so that I can substitute that weight in frozen squash?
It's basically the same weight. Maybe take off a few ounces for the peel. You can adjust the mixture by adding more flour or using less. The notes at the bottom of the recipe might be a help to you.
Easy and delicious We really enjoyed this!
Using frozen or canned squash If I want to double recipe how much frozen squash (boxes) or canned squash do I need!
Guessing you double it? The weight is usually on that box. So about 4 pounds total.
