This was good, but I think we would have liked it a bit sweeter. Even with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar, it didn't have much flavor. I will probably try making it again with some changes. Boiling the squash is a great idea though and worked perfectly!

This was so good my children thought it was a desert and couldn't get enough. It is now a staple of our Thanksgiving dinners.

My picky youngest even liked! I didnt' have time to boil and peel (I would have preferred that method), I peeled what I could w/ a sharp veggie peeler then when I cut into small pieces I sliced along crevices and peeled that - it didn't take too long (less time than other method but more frustrating and difficult!). It needed a little more salt and it turned out a bit dry- I would add a little water when microwaving AND I had to add more cooking time. I prefer roasting and will go that route when I have more time to cook this.

The flavor of this dish was good, but I would suggest adding a few extra walnuts at the end beause they blended in too much for me. I like the crunch!

I had a dinner party last year and this was a hit. Every one was asking for the recipe. It is easy, yet hard to mess-up. This year everyone is asking when they can come over for diner again.. Ex..

Tasty and easy. I might try popping it in the oven for a few minutes next time I make this to make it carmelize. Nice change.

Cutting the squash into cubes sure beats baking halves in the oven. I like the way the other ingredients soak into the squash.

I made this for thanksgiving for a family that has never had squash as part of thanksgiving dinner before. In fact, my sister and I are the only ones who even think of squash as a side dish. We made a double recipe, however, hoping that it would be deemed acceptable - it got rave reviews and was thoroughly enjoyed, and out of 18 people, I think only the youngest refused to try it. The only change I'll make next time is likely to omit the walnuts, but that's just a personal preference.

I, too, added a little more butter. I also found that a grapefruit spoon made peeling the squash (after boiling) fairly easy.

Awesome alternative way to eat squash. The peel method worked awesome. I changed it up a little bit by adding another tablespoon of butter, another tablespoon of brown sugar, nutmeg, and at the end I mashed them. The kids thought they were eating "applesauce" instead of "yucky" squash. This is a great fall side dish.

Turned out great - I used twice as much butter instead (2 T.) Was my husband's first time trying squash and he went back for seconds. He chose to add more brown sugar as he was eating it, but I liked mine just as it was. A tasty change from the ordinary!

This was wonderful! It's important to use a squash that's ripe and not too big, because I've found that bigger ones aren't really sweet, and under or overripe ones are stringy and dry.

This is excellent. I love squash and this is a great recipe. I bet you could make it with sweet potatoes too. I didn't have any walnuts, but I added a few sliced prunes. Next time I will dice the apples because they were hard to stir in consistently. My 2 year old wouldn't try it (yet), but I loved it!
