Bumping this up, so I can find it again when the time comes. (Talking about counting zukes before their hatched!)

Valerie, don't forget to try the other version, too.

I will, Sandra. I like this one better, though because it goes in a pie crust. I'm going to have to trick people into thinking this is really apple. I think that will be easier if they don't think it's squash casserole. Both sound really tasty, though!

OK, I added 2 heaping tablespoons of instant tapioca before putting in the crust (I let it cool first). It came out wonderful! I love this pie! Oh, and I added a good shake or two of nutmeg, too.

Becky let the cat out of the bag, though, that it wasn't really apples, so Dave won't eat it. More for me! How sad!
