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
(use whatever winter squash is available)(about 1 ¼ cups)

PREPARATION:

Method

  1. Mash up squash. Spoon a good 2 to 3 cups of the squash into the bottom of an oven safe casserole dish.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the onions on top of the squash.
  4. Layer apples on top of the onions.
  5. Add the grated cheddar cheese and bread crumbs to the top of the dish and add up to 1/4 cup of bread crumbs.
  6. 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.
