Steps:
- Make the Pate Brisee: Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor (or whisk together by hand in a bowl). Add butter and pulse (or quickly cut in with a pastry blender or your fingertips) until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some larger pieces remaining. Drizzle 1/4 cup water over mixture. Pulse (or mix with a fork) until mixture just begins to hold together. If dough is too dry, add 1/4 cup more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse (or mix with a fork).
- Divide dough in half onto two pieces of plastic wrap. Gather into two balls, wrap loosely in plastic, and press each into a disk using a rolling pin. Refrigerate until firm, well wrapped in plastic, 1 hour or up to 1 day. Dough can be frozen up to 3 months; thaw in refrigerator before using.
- Make the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk pate brisee to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. (Reserve remaining disk for another use.) Fit dough into a 9-inch pie dish and press into bottom edges and up the sides. Trim edge, leaving a 1-inch overhang; fold edge under and crimp as desired. Freeze 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack located in the lower third. Line crust with parchment paper, gently pressing the parchment into the edges of the crust; weigh down parchment with dried beans or pie weights.
- Bake until the edges of the pastry begin to turn golden, about 25 minutes. Carefully remove pie weights and parchment paper. Continue to bake until crust is golden brown in color, about 15 minutes more. Transfer the crust to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add flour and cook, whisking, over medium heat for 2 minutes (do not let flour darken). Whisk in milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Strain mixture into cooled crust and bake until filling is slightly set, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Place, cut-side down, on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and roast until soft, 45 to 50 minutes.
- When squash is cool enough to handle, scoop out flesh and transfer to a food processor; process until smooth. Transfer to a cheesecloth-lined colander set over a bowl. Squeeze out excess moisture and let stand, covered with plastic, at least 2 hours or, refrigerated, up to 3 days. Return to room temperature before using.
- On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out round disk of dough 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim dough flush with rim, prick inside all over with a fork, and refrigerate.
- Roll square disk of dough into an 11-by-14-inch rectangle (between 1/8 and 1/16 inch thick). Freeze until firm but pliable, about 10 minutes. Use a knife or pastry wheel and a ruler to cut fifteen 1/4-inch-wide strips of dough along the short side. (Use an assortment of cookie cutters to cut out decorative shapes for pie top from remaining dough.)
- Working with 5 strips at a time, gently press tops together to adhere. Place 3 strips to one side and 2 to the other. Make a fish-tail braid by bringing outer-third strip over to the center of side with 2 strips. Repeat, with outer-third strip always moving to middle to join side with 2 strips. Repeat fishtail-braiding with remaining strips of dough, so you have 3 braids of 5 strips each.
- Beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon water; brush piecrust rim with egg wash. Place braids over rim, cutting them as needed to fit circumference of pie, and press gently to adhere. Freeze piecrust and decorative cut-outs until firm, about 20 minutes. Brush edge with egg wash.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in lower and upper thirds. Line crust with parchment, keeping it away from decorative rim. Fill with dried beans or pie weights.
- Bake piecrust on lower rack until edges begin to turn golden and bottom is dry, 22 to 25 minutes. Carefully remove parchment and beans. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and return crust to oven. Place chilled cut-outs on a separate parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with egg wash; place on upper rack. Bake until both piecrust and cutouts are golden brown and dry, 10 to 15 minutes more (smaller cutouts will bake more quickly). Let cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Whisk together 1 cup squash puree and remaining3 eggs. In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and spices. Whisk dry ingredients into squash mixture, then stir in vanilla and evaporated milk to combine. Pour filling into piecrust; tent rim with foil and bake until center is just set, 50 to 65 minutes. Let cool completely on rack.
- Dust cutouts with confectioners' sugar and use to decorate top. When ready to slice pie, remove cutouts. Serve, with a few cutouts and a dollop of whipped cream on top of each slice.

Steps:
- Roll out bottom pie pastry on a lightly floured sheet of waxed paper and place in 9-inch standard pie pan; place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- In a big bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, and salt; toss well then set aside for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch together; stir this mixture into the apples along with the cinnamon.
- Transfer filling into the chilled pie shell; smooth the top with your hands.
- Roll out top pie pastry into a 10-inch circle on a sheet of lightly floured waxed paper.
- Moisten the edge of the pie shell with a pastry brush.
- Invert the top pastry over the filling, center, and peel off the paper.
- Press the top and bottom pastries together along the dampened edge.
- Trim the pastry and crimp or flute edges as desired.
- Using a fork, poke several steam vents in the top, including a couple along the edge so you can check the juices there later.
- Brush the top with a little milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Put pie in 400° oven on center rack; bake for 30 minutes.
- Lower heat to 375° and rotate pie 180° (also slide a large foil-lined baking sheet onto the rack below to catch any drips).
- Bake about 25 more minutes or until golden brown.
- When done, there should be thick juices bubbling out of the steam vents along the edge.
- Place pie on a wire rack and let cool at least 2 hours, preferably longer, before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, tart flavor to the pie. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can have a bitter taste.
- Don't overcook the sugar mixture: The sugar mixture should be cooked until it reaches a light amber color. If it is overcooked, it will become too dark and bitter.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing: This will help the pie to set and the filling to firm up.
Conclusion:
Sugar pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling, flaky crust, and creamy topping, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious dessert, give sugar pie a try!
