I was delightfully surprised to find that a squash could taste identical to a fruit. What's more, this crisp is delicious!

I had tasted this recipe before, but when my cousin came we made it. She couldn't believe how much like apples it tasted--she made such a big deal about it that we had to tell my husband it wasn't apples. :)

Very easy to make and truly does taste like apples. No one would ever know! A great way to use up some of my bumper crop.
