Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F and position a rack in the lower third of your oven.
In a 2.5-3 quart casserole dish, toss the apples, butternut squash, melted butter, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg together.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and brown sugar together. Stir in the melted butter until all is moistened. Spoon evenly over top of the apple and squash. Sprinkle the pecans on top of the breadcrumbs.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the apples and squash are tender. Loosely cover with foil after 30 minutes to prevent the top from over-browning. Serve immediately.
