Squapple Crisp

Isn't squapple a fun word? Seriously, say it out loud. When Lizzie brought this to a family gathering, we couldn't stop saying it.

4 c. butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 pound (about 3) Baldwin apples, peeled and sliced
4 Tbsp. butter
1/2 c. maple syrup
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup flax flakes, crushed

Roast squash until tender. Mash with 1 Tbsp. butter, 1/4 c. maple syrup, and spices. Melt remaining butter, mix with flax and remaining syrup. Layer squash and apples in baking pan, top with flax mixture. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes.

Serve as a side dish or top with vanilla ice cream for dessert.
