A is for Apple and Squash Gratin, a Sweet One Dish Wonder
Gregory Schaefer
INGREDIENTS
| 2 to 3 cups | butternut squash, roasted or boiled |
| 1 tbsp | olive oil |
| 2 | onions, sliced |
| 1 tsp | dried thyme |
| Salt and Pepper to taste | |
| 2 cups | apples, sliced |
| 1 cup | cheddar cheese, grated |
| 1/4 cup | bread crumbs |
PREPARATION:
Method
- Mash up squash. Spoon a good 2 to 3 cups of the squash into the bottom of an oven safe casserole dish.
- Add olive oil to a skillet and sauté onions over medium heat. Add thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Stir onions and cook over medium heat for 7 minutes. The onions should be caramelized.
- Add the onions on top of the squash.
- Layer apples on top of the onions.
- Add the grated cheddar cheese and bread crumbs to the top of the dish and add up to 1/4 cup of bread crumbs.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, until the cheese is melted and a little browned on top. Let it cool for a moment or two when you take it out because it will be very hot.
I highly recommend you double (or quadruple) this recipe because people will tear into it and it will be all gone in a flash.
