Ingredients

• 1 medium (about 2 lbs) butternut squash
• 3 medium (sweet-tart varieties like Honeycrisp or Gala) apples
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups rolled oats
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups (optional) chopped pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Peel the butternut squash, cut it in half, and remove the seeds. Slice the squash into thin, bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Core the apples and slice them into thin wedges. There's no need to peel them unless you prefer a smoother texture.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced butternut squash and apples. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Pour the squash and apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, make the topping by mixing the rolled oats, flour, and brown sugar. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans if using.

Step 7

Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the squash and apples.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the topping is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or dessert!
