Amish Pie Squash

Amish Pie Squash is an extra-large winter squash variety developed by Amish farmers in the mountains of Maryland. Released in 1999, this pumpkin/winter squash is heart-shaped and looks like a really big acorn. The outer skin is a pale orange with light speckling in some instances. Amish Pie Squash can get very large, up to 60 to 80 pounds in ideal conditions. This is a great pumpkin for soups, pies, breads and other baked goods. The inside has a plethora of delicious meat with at least 5″ of rich pumpkin flesh that’s moist and sweet.
