Ingredients

  • 6 thick-sliced bacon strips, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1-1/4 pounds cubed peeled butternut squash (1-inch cubes)
  • 3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into wedges (about 4 cups)
  • 2 medium pears, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mace
  • 1/4 cup cold butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350º. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until almost crisp, stirring occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
  2. Combine squash, apples and pears in an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon and mace. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in pecans and bacon. Sprinkle over squash mixture.
