Holiday Squash
- Ready In:
- 1hr 35mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
8-12
ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup flour
- 3⁄4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup butter, cut into pieces but kept chilled
- 1 butternut squash
- 1 cup pecans, chopped (but not too small)
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
directions
- Peel squash with vegetable peeler (this is the only hard part - I promise!). Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds; cut into 1/2 inch half moon and crescent slices.
- Mix flour, brown sugar and allspice in medium bowl. Cut in the butter to make crumbs - do not overmix.
- Layer 1/2 of the sliced squash in a baking pan, mixing up the various sizes evenly. Original recipe specified an 11x7 inch pan, but I have used 9x13 inch, 8x8 inch or 3 quart square dishes, depending on the size of the squash.
- Top squash with 1/2 crumb mixture.
- Add remaining squash and sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.
- Top with pecans and drizzle with maple syrup.
- Cover with foil and bake 1 hour.
- Remove foil; bake until squash is tender, about 10 minutes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>Live and work in the heart of the US - Ohio! I work as a Risk Management Consultant, and I do have to work to pay the bills (at least for now), but my passion is cooking.....and eating with as much variety as I can find. I am incredibly lucky in that my BF will eat anything I cook and will give me his honest opinion. What more can you ask from a guy? Well.....let's not go there...at least not online LOL. <br />We share our home with four rescued cats and two Beagle Dachshund mixes (beaners!). We'd rescue more if I could afford the vet bills. <br />Other passions include my vegetable and herb garden, and BF provides the needed grunt work (laughs).</p>
