Simple ingredients, easy to prepare and delicious, Buttercup Squash & Apple Bake pairs the rich sweetness of buttercup squash and sweet-tart apples, with maple syrup and butter. Buttercup squash is one of the sweeter winter squash, it has a creamy texture, is about the size of a small pumpkin, stores well and sweetens with time. When baked it has a tender, flaky, floury texture. Sweet-tart baking apples will hold their shape and offer enough tart to balance the sweetness of the squash and adds a light moistness to the bake. Topping with cinnamon is a simple twist on this delicious dish.
