🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1 medium (about 2 lbs) butternut squash
• 3 medium (sweet-tart varieties like Honeycrisp or Gala) apples
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups (optional) chopped pecans

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

2. Peel the butternut squash, cut it in half, and remove the seeds. Slice the squash into thin, bite-sized pieces.

3. Core the apples and slice them into thin wedges. There's no need to peel them unless you prefer a smoother texture.

4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced butternut squash and apples. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.

5. Pour the squash and apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.

6. In a small bowl, make the topping by mixing the rolled oats, flour, and brown sugar. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans if using.

7. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the squash and apples.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the topping is golden brown.

9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or dessert!
