In a food processor, coarsely grind 1 1/2 cups of the pecans until pea-sized.

Pulse just until combined, then transfer pecan mixture to the prepared plate and press into the bottom of the plate only; set aside.


In the food processor, purée squash with eggs, almondmilk, remaining 1/2 cup maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour filling over the pecan crust in the pie pan and bake for 30 minutes.


Meanwhile, finely chop remaining pecans. Sprinkle pecans along the outer edges of the pie and return to the oven for another 30 minutes, or until filling is set and firm. 


Cool pie on a rack then transfer to the refrigerator to chill before serving.
