Butternut Squash Casserole

Butternut Squash and Apple Casserole

Diana Rattray
This butternut squash casserole includes apples and is topped with a buttery spiced crumb topping with brown sugar. This is a tasty side dish for any fall meal, and it would be a perfect holiday dinner casserole.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small butternut squash (about 2 to 2 1/2 lbs)
  • 2 tart apples
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 4 tablespoons butter, cold
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Preparation:

Butter a 2- to 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Heat oven to 350°. Peel, seed, and cut squash into small slices. Core the apples, peel, and cut into thin slices. Toss squash and apples together. Transfer squash and apple slices to the prepared baking dish.

Combine brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg; cut in butter with fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Sprinkle crumbs evenly over sliced squash and apples. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until squash is tender.

Hubby says ""It's a keeper!""March 01, 2008By uniquevlb
"I made modifications - I used Splenda brown sugar blend. I used Granny Apples as first reviewer suggested. We like sweet - so I added King Syrup & Pecan combination as an additional topping - combining this receipe with another listed here as ""Maple Butternut Squash Casserole"". Since I had added liquid I left it in the oven an hour. I sprung this on my husband as a surprise - he had seconds & said ""It's a keeper"" - and he just had butternut squash added to his diet - he didn't think he LIKED butternut squash. He said ""Is that pumpkin I smell?"" while it was baking."
