Absolutely delicious!!! At the suggestion from one of the comments, I used regular milk instead of evaporated. As I had timing issues with dinner, I put this in a greased casserole after combining and kept it in the oven until everything else was ready. No issues with drying out, though it did set nicely. Thanks for the great flavor combination!

We enjoyed this for dinner, although the flavor was a little mild for our spice-lovin’ family. It felt very creamy and rich, and the apple was not really that noticeable for us (maybe because I used one that had mellowed out a bit from a little longer than usual in the fridge?) But the bacon definitely gave it the push from a good recipe to a great recipe! When I make this again I would use some of the spices from my family’s tried and true baked mac and cheese recipe to maybe give it a bit more of a kick. But – I will definitely make this again!

Creamy, cheesy, and delicious! The only reason for 4 mitts is that the apple didn’t quite fit, but I loved it anyway! A must try for sure.

The whole family loved this! My kids didn’t even notice there was anything “different” about it other than the apples, which they didn’t mind. Great dish!

Delicious! I had to make a few little substitutions based on what I had, so I used pumpkin in place of the butternut squash and regular milk instead of evaporated, but this came out great. Thanks for sharing this, we will make it again!
