This is a great way to cook delicious butternut squash, and it's so easy to prepare. Use a large, wide round or oval slow cooker for this recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large butternut squash, about 3 to 4 pounds
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation:

Quarter the butternut squash lengthwise, cut stem off, and scoop out seeds. Pour the apple juice into the slow cooker.

Combine the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a cup or small bowl.

Put two of the squash quarters, cut side up, in the slow cooker. Drizzle with about half of the butter-brown sugar mixture. Place the remaining two sqush quarters on the first ones and drizzle with remaining butter-brown sugar mixture. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or until squash is tender.
Serves 4.
