Tips:

  • Choose ripe butternut squash: Look for squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has soft spots or blemishes.
  • Roast the butternut squash before using: Roasting brings out the squash's natural sweetness and flavor. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples will give your dish different flavors and textures. For a tart and tangy flavor, use Granny Smith apples. For a sweeter flavor, use Honeycrisp or Braeburn apples.
  • Add cranberries for a festive touch: Cranberries add a pop of color and tartness to this dish. Fresh or frozen cranberries can be used.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or cinnamon, depending on your preferences.
