Maple Roasted Winter Squash Pie

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

   Roll out one half of Basic Pie Dough, and line pie dish. Freeze additional pie dough for later use. Dock dough with a fork, line dough with parchment and fill pie crust with pie weights. Blind bake for 10 minutes, remove parchment and weights and cool crust on a rack. Do not brown the pie or over cook it at this stage. The blind baking will help to achieve a crisp crust.
