I was never a fan of squash. But when I came across this recipe several years ago, I tried making it. My family is glad I did. Sharon Rink, Appleton, Wisconsin Ingredients:
3/4 cup maple syrup |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1/4 cup apple juice |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
3 small butternut squash (about 1-1/2 pounds each) |
4 large apple, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the syrup, butter and apple juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat; whisk in the cinnamon, salt and all-spice. Set aside.
2. Peel squash and cut in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Place a third of the squash in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Layer with half of the apples and a third of the squash. Top with alternating slices of remaining squash and apples. Pour syrup mixture over the top.
3. Cover and bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until squash is almost tender. Uncover, bake 15 minutes longer, basting twice. Yield: 8-10 servings.
