This butternut squash recipe is one of our favorites. It is always on the menu for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We bring it to potlucks and serve it for special dinners when we happen to have company at the cottage.
The tender mild butternut squash with the sweet diced apples and the delicious strudel topping is the perfect accompaniment to your turkey. It tastes delicious with a squirt of whipped cream on top and really wonderful with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and served as the dessert course. We think that this butternut squash casserole will be a great part of your own holiday tradition.
