Had buttercup squash in my CSA box and since I'd been inundated with squash, I wanted to try something other than baking/roasting or making a quick bread. Took this to Thanksgiving dinner and boy, did it go fast! Everyone LOVED it. I ended up using buttercup and acorn squash in this and I diced the apples rather than sliced, but otherwise followed the recipe. So good! Passed the recipe on to everyone there! Thank you so much for sharing. This is a keeper!

I made this last night as a "rehearsal" for Thanksgiving. My husband and I loved it!! I did add about two tablespoons more of the brown sugar and I cubed the apples. It was easy to make and tasted wonderful.

Made this over the Christmas holidays and it was definitely a favorite among squash lovers. Next time, though I'd cut the apples into smaller pieces. The topping was delicious.

Took this for thanksgiving and most of it was still left afterward. Make sure that you completely puree the squash, I used my food processor and it was still not pureed enough. It had a very odd texture that was hard to get over. I would also cut the squash amount down to 2lbs as the flavor was almost overpowering.

Yummy! I made this for Thanksgiving and had a request to make it for Christmas too. Liked by everybody. At Thanksgiving, I made it with buttercup squash (looks like a smal green & orange pumpkin), but it was VERY difficult to peel even after microwaving for 5min. Probably the easiest way to use the buttercup squash would be to cut in half, scoop out seeds, bake for about an hour at 350 degrees, then scoop out the squash and then prepare as the recipe says. For Christmas, I used butternut squash and it was much easier to prepare and just as delicious. I used a mix of apples including macintosh and cut them up into small wedges (not sliced or diced). For topping I used Special K with cinnamon and pecans for the cereal. Lastly, I put everything in the crockpot instead of baking and kept on low until ready to eat.

My brother-in-law who will eat no vegetables, actually asked for seconds on this one. It was truly more like a dessert than a vegetable side-dish. It was really spectacular.

Wonderful!! Even my kids ate it. Next time I will dice the apples instead of slicing. And will mix in. Some spoonfuls did not get down to the apples on the bottom.

Absolutely awesome! The whole family loved it! Squash is hard to peel (this was my 1st time) & the only way I found to make it any easier was to have my husband cut it into small pieces and then I peeled them. I put it together the night before, but didn't cook it until about an hour before the event. It came out awesome!!
