Notes

HOW TO BAKE YOUR SQUASH APPLE CASSEROLE FASTER- To bake faster, simply cover your pan with a lid! Your squash apple bake should be done in about 30 minutes if you bake it with a lid. Broil for 5 minutes at the end if you like the top to be golden brown.
FOR BAKED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH APPLES AND MAPLE SYRUP- If you want to use maple syrup in your topping instead of brown sugar simply sub about ⅓ cup of pure maple syrup in place of the ½ cup brown sugar.
FOR A BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND APPLE CASSEROLE WITH CRUMB TOPPING- If you like a more crumbly topping on your squash apple bake that is similar to apple crisp all you have to do is stir about ¼ cup of rolled oats into the topping! And if you like a lot of topping just double all the topping ingredients and use ½ cup rolled oats.
HOW TO STORE SQUASH APPLE BAKE- Transfer any cooled leftovers into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
