  • Makes
    9 servings

Ingredients

  • 5-1/2 cups thinly sliced peeled butternut squash
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 medium tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the squash, salt, pepper, nutmeg and 1 tablespoon oil; toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish; pour cream over top.
  • Cover and bake at 325° for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, toss apples in remaining oil. Spoon over squash. Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until squash is tender. Sprinkle with cheese; bake 3-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
    Freeze option: Before adding cheese, cool baked casserole; cover and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 325°. Reheat casserole, increasing time as necessary for a thermometer inserted in center to read 165°. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until melted.

    So happy I discovered a new way to cook butternut squash! This is so yummy. I never added the apples, just added the cheese at the last 10 minutes uncovered.
