Buttercup Squash with Apples
What Can I Do With Buttercup??
You can not find any easier dessert than this stuffed buttercup squash filled with apple, honey (or maple syrup), and pecans. Buttercup squash with apples is a very simple idea for Thanksgiving table.
All you have to do is cut the squash in half (the hardest part is cutting the squash), scoop out the seeds, fill them with stuffing and bake.
I have shared a similar recipe before, using peach and almond, see Baked Peaches with Almond recipe.
Yield: Serves 2
- 1 small buttercup squash
- 1 large apple, diced
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened

Cut the squash in half with a sharp knife and remove the seeds. Place them on a baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine diced apples with sugar, butter, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Spoon into squash halves.
Cover with foil and bake for 50-60 minutes or until squash is tender. Garnish with pecan and honey and serve.
