Notes

Make sure to cube the squash pretty small so they cook evenly with the apples. All ovens vary on cooking time so please check to see if the butternut squash is cooked through as you near the end of cooking time. If the squash isn't tender to your liking cook for a few more minutes. You can use honey in place of the brown sugar. You can substitute acorn squash in this recipe for the butternut squash if you want. You can use Macintosh or any other baking apples instead of gala. To make in the crockpot: Add all of the ingredients into a crockpot and cook on high for approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours or low for about 3 hours {check occasionally for the squash to become tender}
