How to Make Baked Butternut Squash With Apples And Maple Syrup

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, seed, and cube 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds).
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the butternut squash and cook until almost tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Drain the squash well.
  5. In a large 13x9 inch casserole dish, combine the cooked squash, 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), and 1/2 cup currants.
  6. Season with 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  8. Whisk over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  9. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the squash and apple mixture in the casserole dish.
  10. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the squash and apples are very tender and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
  12. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
