Description

Great use of a fall vegetable. We have it every year for the holidays.

Ingredients
  • 1 butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • ¼ cup butter, divided
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, divided
  • ⅛ teaspoon apple pie spice
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  2. 2. Place squash, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon brown sugar into the cavity of each squash half.
  3. 3. Bake in the preheated oven until skin is crispy and flesh is tender, about 1 hour. Cool until squash is easily handled, about 10 minutes.
  4. 4. Scoop flesh into a large bowl; add remaining butter, brown sugar, and apple pie spice. Whip squash mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy.
