Peel, seed, and cube winter squash (butternut, buttercup, Hubbard,

In a food processor or mixer combine the squash purée, sugars, brandy, and
spices.

Blend the cashew/arrowroot mixture for another few seconds, then add to the
squash mixture and process until well mixed.

Divide the pie filling equally between the two pie crusts. Top with the
chopped walnuts. Bake the pies for 50-60 minutes until lightly browned,
cracked, and well-set.

Remove the pies from the oven, cool, then refrigerate overnight to allow
filling to firm up. Serve cool or at room temperature.
