Squash and Apple Bake


My friend Dorothy submitted this recipe to our first GWG Greendale Church cookbook. 
It's been a favourite of ours for years. Definitely one of those comfort food recipes.
 It's a good dish to feed to those "fussy about veggies" kids and grandkids (and their elders).

  • 2 pounds squash - I've used butternut, or acorn 
  • 2-3 apples
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  1. Cut the end off the squash and peel. (I use a good potato peeler) Peel and core the apples.
  2. Cut the squash and apples into 1 inch cubes and place in casserole dish.
  3. Combine remaining ingredients except pecans and spread over squash and apples. top with chopped nuts if desired.
  4. Cover with lid or foil and bake for 50-60 minutes in a 350 F degree oven. Or you can cook it in the microwave until tender. Either way it makes a wonderful fall side dish.

  2. I know that this will be good because it's similar to the yam casserole I make. I bet the apples add a great flavor!

  9. My sister came to my kitchen this weekend (she doesn't have her own), with a squash and some yams, and a wish to use them in a dish for our Thanksgiving dinner at another sister's home. I checked here for an idea and found this recipe. Only, she had already cut up the veggies and had them boiling, with the peel on. So, when they were cooked, she took off the peel and made up the casserole. We baked it them, for only about 35 minutes. It was delicious! This will be a keeper recipe. Dairymary
