Slow Cooker Butternut ‘n Apples
This is one of those delightfully easy but delicious dishes that help you take advantage of the ever-low price of butternut squash.
We’ve taken this Butternut ’n Apple dish to our church’s weekly potluck many times (we grew too much squash one year) and never brought home any leftovers.
I guess it goes to show that sometimes, the simple recipes really are the best.
