Prep: 25 min. Bake: 1-1/2 hours

Yield: 8 Servings

25 90 115

Ingredients

8 medium tart apples
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar, divided
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
2-1/2 cups mashed cooked butternut squash
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, divided

Directions

Core apples, leaving bottoms intact. Peel the top third of each apple. Remove apple pulp, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Chop the removed apple; set aside.
Place cored apples in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, orange juice and water; pour over apples. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1 hour or until tender, basting occasionally.
In a large saucepan, saute chopped apple in butter until tender. Add squash; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the salt, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and remaining brown sugar. Spoon into baked apples; sprinkle with remaining nutmeg.
Bake 30-35 minutes longer or until heated through, basting occasionally. Drizzle with pan juices before serving. Yield: 8 servings.
