Pie of the Month Club: This Month's Featured Recipe
Twelve pies in twelve months. Let's get the dough rolling.
Our new cookbook, The Perfect Pie, includes more than 180 recipes for display case-worthy pies, tarts, and galettes of all types: classic takes like Apple Pie, regional specialties like North Carolina Lemon Pie, and uniquely flavored creations like Lavender Crème Brûlée Pie. We're so excited about this collection of new recipes and old favorites that we decided to start a Pie of the Month Club so we can share twelve of our favorite seasonal recipes with you, our community of fellow pie-lovers. (And yes, those three aforementioned recipes are included in the Club, but you'll have to stay tuned to see which months they represent. . . )

(We’ll also be updating this article with each new pie, so be sure to check back at the beginning of each month.)
- Make the recipe. Each recipe will be free for the month it’s featured (or accessible anytime for online subscribers).
- Take a picture before you dig in and share it on Instagram with the hashtag #ThePerfectPie and your photo may get featured on the @testkitchen Instagram account.
November's Pie of the Month: Butternut Squash Pie with Browned Butter and Sage
Look out pumpkin pie, there’s a new winter squash in town! Earthy butternut squash works beautifully in this unique autumn pie that also sticks to its classic roots. Incorporating browned butter gave this pie a nutty richness that makes it stand out amongst others. Followed by notes of sage in both the filling and the crust, this pie really has everything you look for in a pie during this time of year. (It also doesn’t hurt that it’s nice to look at.) Break out your pie plate and get ready for this perfect holiday pie to be the belle of the ball at your Thanksgiving (or Friendsgiving) table. Happy baking!
