SWEET BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH APPLES
A great mix of fall flavors and crockpot simple to boot! This makes a fabulous side dish for pork or chicken and the kids will love it. Feel free to sub vegan margarine for the butter and this turns into a great vegan dish!!! This is best served warm, not hot. The cranberries add an amazing tart dimension to this dish and make it quite festive. Perfect for Thanksgiving, as it can cook all morning in the crockpot. . .SO EASY! For those of you who have a Trader Joes, they sell precut butternut squash!

Steps:
- Cut squash in half and remove seeds, soft pulp, and fibers. Then peel the squash and place it cut side down on a cutting board. Cut in half length-wise and then cut into into 1/2-inch slices.
- Peel and core the apples; cut in 1/2-inch slices.
- Combine the cider, marmalade, melted butter, sugar, flour, salt and spice.
- Layer half of the butternut squash in the bottom of the crockpot; top with one half of the apple slices, one half of the pineapple and half of the sugar and spice mixture. Repeat layers.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour, then switch to LOW and cook 4 hours longer, or until butternut squash is tender. Add in the cranberries, give it a stir, and turn off the crockpot to let it cool for about 45 minutes.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and some chopped walnuts if you like.

Odeh Mahmoud
[email protected]Meh. The squash was bland and the apples were too tart. I followed the recipe exactly but it just didn't come together. Maybe I'll try it again with different apples.

[email protected]Easy to make and delicious! I used a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, and added a bit of brown sugar for extra sweetness. The squash was perfectly tender and the apples were still slightly firm, just the way I like them. Will definitely mak
