Looking for something a little healthier than those regular mashed potatoes? This tasty dish fits the bill. I love butternut squash and this recipe is a keeper. These can even be made ahead of time. They stay fresh covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or they can be frozen for up to a week. To reheat, just thaw if they are frozen and heat in the microwave until hot. For a little added flavor, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon to your mashed butternut squash. MMM, MMMM!

Cook's Tip:
- For a faster version of this recipe, the butternut squash and apples can be cooked in a Quick Cooker, following manufacturers directions. However, you won't get that deep, delicious roasted flavor that you get by roasting in the oven.
