Reviews
I prepared this casserole, only I used one 12-oz. package cooked frozen butternut squash which I cooked in my microwave oven according to instructions given. I'd added the maple syrup to the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. each ground nutmeg and cloves, the ginger, and 2 large UNPEELED apples, cut into pieces. For topping, I'd used 1/4 cup cold butter, cut in cubes and 1/3 cup crushed GINGERSNAPS instead of the chopped pecans. I'd used a 9" greased square pan OR a 1-1/2-qt. greased baking dish-I'd used PAMnon-stick cooking spray to coat my baking pan/baking dish. I did not use the maple syrup in the topping! I'd baked the casserole at least 45 minutes. This dish was delicious! It's definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing, Lorraine Darocha! delowenstein
