Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed

- In a large bowl, toss cubed squash and sliced apples with melted butter, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly coated.
- Spread mixture in the baking dish and sprinkle with nuts if using.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the squash is tender and apples are caramelized.

- Top with extra pecans for added crunch.
- Great as a Thanksgiving side or a cozy dessert.
