Butternut Squash and Apple Casserole with Maple Walnut Crumble
Butternut Squash and Apple Casserole with Maple Walnut Crumble: the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas, or to make new friends any other day of the year!
Bake on the top rack of the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the apples and squash start to caramelize on the edges.
Meanwhile, make the cooking liquid and crumble. For the cooking liquid, simply whisk all the ingredients together in a glass measuring cup. For the crumble, place all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and then mix well with your fingers, making sure that all the ingredients are well combined.
After 30 minutes, take the squash and apple out of the oven and transfer to a square baking dish. Pour in cooking liquid and top with the crumble.
Return the casserole to the oven, on the middle rack this time, and cook for an additional 15 minutes, until the liquid bubbles up on the sides and the crumble turns beautifully golden brown
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
