Sweet potato and squash pie

The slightly tangy taste of rye flour complements the sweetness of this pie's filling.

The slightly tangy taste of the rye flour perfectly complements the sweetness of the filling and keeps the added sugar to just over 1 teaspoon a serving.

To make this plant based, use an egg substitute and replace the honey with maple syrup.
