No-brainer Recipes: Butternut Squash and Apple Casserole

Guest post by Sue at My Party of 6.

This is my absolute FAVORITE autumn dish. It is very easy to make, and yet, everyone RAVES about it and begs for the recipe. It has been a hit everywhere I’ve taken it, including Thanksgiving dinner last year.

You will need:

1 butternut squash
2 apples – whatever variety you like
1/3 cup of brown sugar, packed
3 Tablespoons of cold butter
1 Tablespoon of flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Then, slice the squash in half, scoop and discard the seeds, peel and dice it. (If you are going to be in a rush, you can also buy the already prepared chunks in your produce section.)

Core and dice the apples, skin on.

Toss the apple and squash together in a baking dish.

Slice off little slivers of the butter and distribute around the apple and squash. (I couldn’t get a good picture of this.)

Combine the remaining ingredients and sprinkle on top of apple, squash and butter.

Cover and bake for 45 – 50 minutes.

Serves 6 – 8. (Unless you invite me and then I will eat the entire thing by myself!)

    How do you peel butternut squash? Do you use a peeler or just cut the rind away from the good stuff with a paring knife?

    I just peel it with with a paring knife. The skin is kinda think, but if you had a really sharp peeler, that might work.

    That answers what am I going to do with that half a butternut squash and those apples that are in my fridge! Thanks for the suggestion. I have a sweet potato in the fridge too and I bet it would make a nice addition.
