Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low; simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the diced apple and honey and purée the soup with a handheld immersion blender until very smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, use a standard blender to purée soup in batches, being careful not to fill the jar more than halfway. Leave the hole in the lid open and loosely cover with a dish towel to allow the heat to escape. Pour the blended soup into a clean pot.)

• Note: This soup thickens as it cools. If necessary, add a bit of water to thin it back to desired consistency.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. (The soup will thicken up while in the freezer. While reheating, add a bit of water if necessary to thin it to your desired consistency.)

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400 F. Line a large baking pan with foil. Brush the foil with the oil.
• Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and reserve for another use or discard.
• Place the squash, cut-side down, in the prepared pan. Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Cover loosely with foil and bake until the squash is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork, 45 to 55 minutes.
• Let the squash cool completely. Scoop out the flesh, mash or purée the squash, or put it through a food mill. Measure 1 1/2 cups of mashed squash and set aside. Save any remaining squash for another use.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 F. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork. Bake until the crust just begins to brown, 13 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the mashed squash with the brown sugar on medium speed until combined.
• Taste and adjust sweetness with more sugar as desired. Add the eggs, evaporated milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, flour, butter, and vanilla. Continue beating until well combined. Alternatively, use an electric hand-held mixer.
• Put the pie shell on a rimmed baking sheet. Carefully add the filling to the pie shell.
• Transfer to the oven, and bake until the filling sets, 45 to 55 minutes. Begin checking the pie at 35 minutes. If the crust is browning too quickly, set a ring of foil or a pie crust protector over the crust, so it won't get too dark.
• Transfer the pie to a rack to cool. Serve just warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped topping, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
