Applesauce Squash Souffle

---

Originally from the boston globe's confidential chat in the 1960s. my children weren't crazy about yams in any form so i used this squash recipe instead. I ended up having to double the recipe because they absolutely loved it!!

---

Steps

---

Heat squash over low heat , breaking it up and stirring occasionally , until just heated through.

---

Remove from heat and beat in butter , sugar , salt and egg yolks.

---

Gently stir in applesauce.

---

Set aside to cool slightly.

---

Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff but not dry.

---

Gently fold into squash mixture.

---

Turn into buttered 1-quart souffle dish with a collar of buttered foil around the dish to allow room for safe rising.

---

Bake in middle of 325 degree oven for 35 minutes.

---

When done it will be high , light and still slightly soft in the center.

---

Serve immediately.
