We often make this side dish in the fall, after harvesting fresh squash from our garden. A hint of Asian flavor offers a different, unexpected accent. I especially enjoy the pleasant flavor combination of mozzarella and ginger. —Lydia Garcia, Gouldsboro, Maine

This recipe is fantastic! The flavors are just right for a cool, breezy day and it's even better as a left over. I substitute chicken for the apples and it makes it the perfect one dish meal!
