From a Food Network viewer; Food Network didn't test it. Makes 3 pies.

Ingredients

6 Yellow squash, medium, sliced
1 Butter, stick, unsalted
1/2 cup Flour, all-purpose
1 cup Sugar
1 tbsp Lemon extract
3 Egg
3 Pie shell, 9-inch prepared frozen, defrosted

Directions

Cover the squash with water in a large pot, bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until tender, 20 minutes. Drain and press out the excess water with a spoon.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Blend the squash, butter and flour until pureed, then add the sugar, lemon extract and eggs and blend until smooth.
Divide among the pie shells and bake until set, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool to room temperature before slicing.
