great fall recipe for squash
This recipe was good when made it the first time, according to the directions; this week I forgot to get cider at the store, so I substituted some applesauce and water. Either that or the stars aligned - but everyone loved it and had seconds!

My boyfriend and I both really like this. He is not a person who tries new veggies but he loves the squash with apples. It is great during the holidays.

This is very good recipe but it took longer to cook than instructed. Maybe it was my microwave but I doubt it. My husband loved it and I will make it again.
