Including:
* Butternut Squash
* Applesauce
* Whole apples

What's your favorite one? We have an apple cake we like a lot, which I can't find at the moment online, sigh, and this butternut soup recipe, which we make all the time.

My favorite apple recipe is to eat the apple, and my favorite butternut squash recipe is to cut it in half, clean it, stick it in the oven, then add butter and maple syrup.

I realize this is totally unhelpful. 8D

Nah but okay seriously, I saw a recipe for a butternut squash soup that had apples in it once and it sounded rally good, but I didn't wind up using it because we were low on apples at the time. Soups are easy to make up, though.

A simple cube-and-roast butternut squash is really tasty as a side dish, too; nutmeg makes a good seasoning for it. Mashed squash (like mashed potatoes except squash) is also a tasty and simple side.

I probably have apple-based recipes in my bread recipe book if you're interested and want me to grab them for you.

apple-based bread recipes sound like the absolute win.

Okay! Show me what you've got, Hensperger! *flips open book*

There's some squash in here too! So okay I think what I'm going to do is list the recipe titles, and you can tell me which you want (or which you don't want, if you want most of them) and if there's a bunch I'll email them.

Squash Cloverleaves (they're rolls)
Baked Apple and Pear Oven Pancake
Apple-Walnut Loaf
Pumpkin Brioche, bet you can sub butternut
Apple Coffee Cake
Sour Cream Apple Muffins
Spiced Applesauce Muffins

Huh, do you think you could sub butternut in for zucchini in a zucchini bread thing...? It'd taste different, but...

edit: p.s. everything I've made from this recipe book so far has tasted delicious

Everything? Well, the first four and the last one, at the very least.

If you really want all of them, I can do all of them. xD Otherwise I'll do that list.

Trying to decide if I want to bother fighting with the scanner+linux, take phone photos and see if they're legible, or just... type... *stares thoughtfully at the book*

[inventrix]

Option 4! Boot to Windows and use scanner!

I'll tweet you when the email's sent~

[aldersprig]

All of them, then, yes please.

P.P.S. If any of the rest of you wandering through here want any of these recipes, I have them scanned already so can easily email them.

I have become very fond of this apple pancake recipe:

1.5 cups oatmeal (not instant)
2 cups milk
3 eggs
2 T safflower oil
1 c whole wheat flour
1 t baking powder
1 t cinnamon
1 c chopped apples

Soak the oatmeal in the milk for 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and oil. In another bowl mix the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, then stir in the oatmeal mixture and apple. Lightly grease a griddle or frying pan and heat until a few drops of cold water sprinkled on the pan dance. Drop pancake batter 1/4 cup at a time onto the griddle. Bake and turn to bake on the other side.

(Yes, it is supposed to not include sugar, but I'm sure it would taste just fine if you added sugar.)

I also liked these acorn squash muffins, for which I'm sure you could substitute butternut squash, or any other puree-able squash.

awesome, thank you!

This would probably work with butternut squash. http://justhungry.com/2003/11/lentilchestnut_.html

I have not tried this, but it involves squash and apples and looks delicious. http://justhungry.com/baked-kuri-squash-and-apple-maple-pudding-shhit039s-even-vegan

Have not tried these yet, either, but I like this food blogger. http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2007/10/butternut-squash-and-caramelized-onion-galette/ http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2006/10/the-leaf-peeps/

And just have all of this for apples: http://smittenkitchen.com/apples/
