Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.

• Add 3 tablespoons of ice water in a steady stream while the processor runs. Turn it off and continue adding small amounts of ice water while pulsing, until the dough forms large clumps and holds together when squeezed.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and lightly work it to make a cohesive dough . Don't overwork the dough. Pat it into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the disk for about 30 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 400 F.
• On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough out to a circle about 2 inches larger in diameter than the pie plate. Fit the dough into the pie plate. Trim and flute as desired.
• Fit a sheet of foil over the bottom and sides of the crust and fill it with pie weights or dry beans.
• Bake the lined crust with the weights for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 F.
• Remove the weights and foil and return the crust to the oven. Bake for about 8 minutes longer. Remove the crust to a rack and set aside.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Rinse the squash; pat dry. Slice the squash into 1/4-inch slices.
• Fill a large saucepan with about 2 inches of water; bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water along with the sliced squash. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pan; cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Drain the squash.
• Transfer the drained squash to the empty saucepan or to a bowl and mash. Carefully drain off any excess water. For a very smooth filling, process the squash in a blender or food processor.
• In a large bowl, whisk the two eggs and egg yolk. Whisk in the 3/4 cup of sugar, heavy cream , melted butter , vanilla, 2 tablespoons of flour, and the nutmeg, if using. Add the mashed squash and blend thoroughly.
• Pour the squash mixture into the baked pie shell and place it on a baking sheet. (If you happen to have some leftover filling, put it in buttered ramekins and bake it alongside the pie. If desired, lightly sprinkle grated nutmeg over the filling.
• Bake the pie at 375 F for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and firm. When the crust is browned, place a pie shield over the edge to avoid over-browning.

AUNT MARIAN'S SUMMER SQUASH CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie pan with crust, then crimp the edges decoratively.
• To prepare the zucchini, trim the ends and cut each squash lengthwise into quarters, turning each squash into four long strips. Cut away the pointed edge of each strip, removing and discarding the seeds. Line up the strips and cut each one crosswise into 1/2-inch chunks. You should have about 6 cups of chopped zucchini.
• In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, bring 3/4 cup water to a rolling boil. Add the chopped zucchini, cover, and cook until the zucchini is tender and bright green, softened, but still holding its shape without turning to mush, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain well.
• In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg, and salt. Stir with a fork to mix everything well. In a medium bowl, combine the cream, eggs, butter, vanilla, and vinegar. Using a whisk or a fork, stir to combine everything well. Add the sugar mixture and stir to dissolve the dry ingredients and mix everything together into a thick, smooth filling.
• Transfer the zucchini back to the empty saucepan and mash it to make it as soft and smooth as possible. Drain off any extra liquid that the zucchini releases. Measure it out, so that you have about 2 1/2 cups. Fold the mashed, drained zucchini into the filling and stir to mix everything together well.
• Pour the filling into the piecrust. Place the pie on the middle shelf of the oven. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F, and bake until the filling is firm and nicely browned, and a knife inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Place the pie on a cooling rack or a folded kitchen towel and let cool to room temperature. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
