BUTTERCUP SQUASH AND APPLE BAKE
3 lbs. buttercup squash
3 apples
6 Tblsp. margarine (or use 4 Tblsp. oil)
2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 Tblsp. flour
1 1/4 tsp. salt
Cut squash in halves; remove seeds and fibers. Peel and cut in slices 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick. Arrange the slices in a 13 x 9-inch pan.
Core apples but do not peel them. Cut in 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch slices and arrange them on top of squash.
Mix remaining ingredients; sprinkle over top of apples and squash. Cover pan tightly with foil. Bake at 350º for about 1 hour or until squash is tender. Serves 6 to 8.
I have been making this recipe for over thirty years. It’s nice with any autumn meal and would be a great side dish for Thanksgiving. It would also make a nice contribution to an autumn potluck.
Oh, Mrs. T this sounds great! I may have to make this in the next few weeks! THank you for sharing!

Mrs. T, I would've not thought of combining squash and apples for a dessert but I'm williing to try it! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for participating in my Favorite Ingredients Friday recipe exchange. I do appreciate it.
Hi Overwhelmed,
ReplyDeleteI usually serve this as a side dish, but I have actually seen a couple of similar recipes used for dessert. In one of the older Taste of Home magazines, there was a recipe for a Butternut Apple Crisp containing much the same ingredients.
My recipe is not actually all that sweet, so it would probably be better as a side dish. But it is yummy; I can vouch for that!
I'm a week behind, but this sounds great. Thanks!
