Butternut Squash and Apples

This is delicious, simple and healthy too!

I'm getting sick of potatoes and frankly I think a lot of people are, so I have come up with a healthier solution.

My boys are a big fan of squash and I just started trying new ones and so the other day I needed a side dish and thought about mixing squash and apples together. I've seen it somewhere before - probably on one of my cooking shows, but I needed to make it my own.

Basically it's this simple. Slice up a butternut squash into little pieces like you would when you are frying potatoes. Dice up a couple apples (I usually use three good sized apples) and place them in the pan. The only thing really fattening about this is the butter portion to coat the pan, or you can use olive oil.

Place the squash and the apples in the butter on the stove and cook til desired tenderness. I usually sprinkle with a little bit of sugar for some added sweetness and some sea salt.

Voila! A great side dish to any meal you are having for dinner.

Here is the final dish before hitting the plate:

ENJOY!
