Tips:

To easily peel the butternut squash, use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife. Start at the top of the squash and work your way down, following the contours of the squash.
If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the butternut squash and apples by hand. Use the large holes of a box grater.
Feel free to add other spices to the casserole, such as ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
If you want a sweeter casserole, add more brown sugar or maple syrup to taste.
For a crunchy topping, sprinkle some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, over the casserole before baking.
Serve the casserole warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
