Just in case you have time to experiment tomorrow (or not):

Butternut Squash and Apple Bake

Ingredients:

1 medium Butternut squash
1 tbsp Butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tbsp brown sugar

2 medium apples, peeled and cored
1/4 tsp cinnamon (I used 1/2 tsp)
2 tbsp brown sugar

Topping:
1 cup corn flakes, slightly crushed
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 tbsp brown sugar


1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Roast butternut squash. (The original called for steaming the squash but I prefer the taste when roasted.) Cut squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds (and set aside seeds aside to fry up for a snack if desired). Cover roasting pan in foil. Rub vegetable oil over the cut surfaces of the squash and place cut-side-down in the roasting pan. Roast for about an hour until the squash is soft.
3. Use a spoon to scoop squash flesh into a mixing bowl. Discard skin.
4. Add 1 tablespoon butter, salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Mash it all up. Set aside.

5. Peel and core the apples.
6. Thinly slice the apples.

7. Butter a 9-inch round pie pan.
8. Arrange the apple slices in buttered pan.
9. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
10. Spread butternut squash mixture over apples.
11. In a small bowl combine topping ingredients. Sprinkle topping over squash.
12. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until apples are tender.

Oh, this sounds good. Might make it after Thanksgiving - I've got a 1/2 of a really big butternut squash left in the refrigerator.

Man, that sounds awesome. I have a pretty sizable Delicata squash in the fridge from the farmer's market -- wonder if it will work? *ponders*

Thanks for sharing!
