Ingredients

Squash and Apples

1.5 pounds butternut squash peeled, seeded, and small cubed
2 units gala apples peeled, cored and diced
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons brown sugar or use honey
3 tablespoons butter chopped into sections
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.125 teaspoon black pepper
0.25 cup raisins
0.25 cup pecans or walnuts
0.25 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl combine butternut squash, apples, cinnamon, vanilla and brown sugar. Mix well. Add the salt and pepper and mix well.
In a baking dish that has a lid, pour the butternut squash mixture and spread evenly.
Place chopped butter throughout the butternut squash mixture. Cover and bake for 15 minutes.
Add the raisins, cranberries and pecans and use tongs or a spoon to toss everything together, cover and place the dish back in the oven for 20-25 more minutes, until the butternut squash is tender and lightly browned.
Remove from oven and stir. Serve warm.

Notes

Make sure to cube the squash pretty small so they cook evenly with the apples. You can substitute acorn squash for butternut squash. Honey can be used in place of brown sugar. Macintosh or any other baking apples can be used instead of gala.
