Squash Crumble

I found this recipe on the internetz years ago, but I can't seem to recall where.  If anyone finds the original link, feel free to send it my way.

This dish works well as a dessert or as a sweet side dish.  Or you can go crazy and just eat it as a main course. :)

Squash Crumble

Ingredients

For the filling:
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
Pinch salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch chunks
3 baking apples (such as Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and cut into small chunks

For the topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch salt
5 tbsp butter, cold
1/2 cup pecans

Directions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.  Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

To make the filling, in a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Set aside.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.  Add the squash and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until just tender.  Drain thoroughly.  In a large bowl, mix the squash and apples.  Add the brown sugar mixture, toss well, then transfer everything to the prepared baking dish.

To make the topping, in a food processor combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.  Add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Add pecans and pulse to chop and combine.  Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples and squash.  Bake for 45 minutes or until the squash and apples are tender.
