Ingredients

Casserole

1 lb local apples peeled, cored and chopped into bite size pieces (about 3 medium apples) I used Royal Gala
1.5 lbs butternut squash peeled, seeded and cut into bite size pieces (about 1 medium squash)
2 Tbsp melted butter
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Topping

3/4 cup (100g) plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar lightly packed
4 tbsp melted butter
1/4 cup (30g) chopped pecans

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 and melted butter.
1 lb local apples, 1.5 lbs butternut squash, 2 Tbsp melted butter
Toss in the sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together.
2 Tbsp granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp salt
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and brown sugar together.
3/4 cup (100g) plain breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
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.
4 tbsp melted butter, 1/4 cup (30g) chopped pecans
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.
