Description

My aunt gave me this recipe a few years ago, and it quickly became a fall staple in our house. It’s easy to throw together and something just a little different for the holidays. Even the kids eat it because it has apples in it.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Butternut Squash
  • 2 whole Apples
  • ¼ cups Melted Butter
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Flour

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F.

Take a small butternut squash, cut it in half and remove seeds. Peel the skin off and cut it into bite-sized chunks.

Grease a 9×13 baking dish and spread the squash evenly in the dish.

Melt the butter, then mix in the brown sugar and flour. (Note: if your squash is large, you may want to double this topping.) Spread the topping mixture over the squash and stir to coat.

Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes has passed, core and chop your 2 apples into bite-sized pieces. You can peel the apple if you like (I leave it on). Add the apple to the baking dish, stirring to coat everything.

Bake for another 20 to 30 minutes with loose foil on, until everything is fork tender. Check it about every 10 minutes to make sure it’s not getting too dry. If it is, you can splash in a little apple cider or apple juice. My aunt sometimes uses orange juice for a slightly different flavor.

You can play around with different spice combinations, too—cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. This is a wonderful fall treat. Enjoy!

YUM! This was so easy and delicious. I wasn’t expecting it to be so tasty. My squash had just a bit of texture left in it and it was perfect like that. I used a little cinnamon in addition to the above recipe.

This was a perfect side dish for the start of Fall :) I only used about half the brown sugar, and would definitely play around with some spices next time. Loved it!

I made this over the weekend and it’s so easy! And very tasty. I substituted maple syrup for the brown sugar. Everyone loved it. It’s a perfect side dish that requires little effort and serves up big taste. A great fall dish! Thanks for the recipe!

Delicious, sweet, and healthy side dish! I made this with our Framily (Friends + Family) Thankmas (between Thanksgiving and Christmas!) dinner this past year and everyone raved about it. It’s a great compliment to more savory dishes. Yum!
