Slow cooker Apples & Squash

Tried this new recipe today. It was really good!

 

Ingredients:

• 5 pounds butternut squash
• 4 cooking apples
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground mace, cinnamon, or a combination

Preparation:

Cut squash in half and remove seeds, soft pulp, and fibers; peel and cut in 1/2-inch slices. Peel and core the apples; cut in 1/2-inch slices. Combine the melted butter, sugar, flour, salt and mace or cinnamon. Layer half of the butternut squash in the bottom of the crockpot; top with one half of the apple slices and half of the sugar and spice mixture. Repeat layers. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour, then switch to LOW and cook 3 to 5 hours longer, or until butternut squash is tender. 

* I cut the recipe in half and cooked on low 6 hours.I wouldn't cook it any longer then that.
