Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (preferably Granny Smith)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.33 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed butternut squash and sliced apples.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour this mixture over the squash and apples, tossing gently to coat.
Transfer the squash and apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, pecans (if using), and remaining 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until crumbly and evenly moistened.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the squash is tender.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
