Butternut Squash and Apples cooked in the crockpot. Recipe from About.com. I removed the butter to save fat and calories. I don't think it affected the flavor.

Ingredients
2 1/2 lb. butternut squash
2 1/2 Granny Smith apples
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. cloves
Directions
  1. Cut squash in half. Remove seeds and fibers from center of squash, then peel and cut squash in 1/2-inch slices.

  2. Peel and core apples, then cut into 1/2" slices. (You can leave the peel on the apples if you like.)

  3. In a medium bowl, sugar, flour, salt and spices and mix until crumbly.

  4. Layer one half of the squash in the bottom of a 4-5 quart crockpot. Top with half of the apple slices and half of the spice mixture.

  5. Repeat layers, then cover crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-1/2 hours. Serves 4
