Happy Halloween and Pumpkin pie adventures!

I'm not really that in to Halloween to be honest but this year I did have a craving to bake a seasonal pumpkin pie. I've never tried it before and most of the people I've mentioned it to have given me a slightly odd look. But never mind! I shall win them over with my delicious pie baking skills.

 
 
I do have a confession though, It's actually a butternut squash pie, but that doesn't sound nearly so exciting now does it? I couldn't find an edible pumpkin and the recipe I used, this one here  in fact, said the two were interchangeable. But as far as I'm concerned it's a pumpkin pie! :)



The little flag was inspired by this lovely post here on Made from Scratch. And I did make a couple of changes to the recipe. I added a little cinnamon to the pastry mixture because I personally feel you can't get enough cinnamon at this time of year. I also used half brown sugar and half white as suggested in one of the comments on the recipe  :) It was absolutely wonderful ( kind of reminded me a little of bread and butter pudding but maybe thats just me?) All sweet and cinnamony, Delicious!
