Hello one & all...spent all free moments yesterday trying to get more applesauce put by. It truly takes me the better part of a day when working around my toddler. It is working, however, to just go with it and not get upset by the endless interruptions. I try to soak/wash the apples before I need to get the middle one ready for school and I start to peel and chunk as he is eating his breakfast. Managed about half before the babe woke for the day. An apple here, 4 there...finally a full pot. Cooked them down and processed them during a much needed naptime. (Me more then her, I think!) 6 more quarts for the shelf and a healthy after school snack for all. It's ALWAYS worth it...
Speaking of apples...have a great recipe for you that is perfect for the season of apples and squash. I made this for Thanksgiving a couple of years ago and it was a complete success. I have been asked for the recipe countless times and felt the need to publicly share...
Butternut Squash and Apple Casserole with Butter Crumb Topping
1 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds)
2 apples, cored, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
4 TBSP butter, cold
1 TBSP flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Peel, seed and cut squash into small slices. Place squash and apple slices in a baking dish, about 11x7. Combine brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; cut better in with a fork or pastry cutter till crumbly. Sprinkle crumbs evenly over sliced squash and apples. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes.
Make and enjoy! Blessings, Eve
