Crock Pot Butternut Squash With Brown Sugar And Cinnamon

I found this recipe in a cook book that i bought from the local high school marching band booster club. This is a great way to cook butternut squash, and it's very easy to make. Use a large, wide round or oval crock pot for best results.

Steps

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 squash 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.

Ingredients

butternut squash, apple juice, butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon
