I love this recipe.  It uses squash so if you don’t get enough veggies this is a good place to start.

Peel and thinly slice a squash.  I used my food processor which made the job so much quicker.  Next I cored my apples and also placed them into the food processor.  Placing all my squash and apple slices into a large bowl I next added 2 tablespoons of cornstarch,. 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 4 tablespoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup of oatmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, 4 teaspoons of lemon juice along with the lemon rind.  Give it real good stir.

Butter a pan.  I use my corning ware which I love because it is so easy to clean.

Add your fruit and squash. In another bowl mix together 2 cup of oats, 1 1/2 cup of flour, 1 cup brown sugar and 8 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter.

Sprinkle on top of apple and squash.  Cover with foil and bake approximately 25 minutes at 350 degrees.  Remove foil and bake an additional 20 minutes or until crumble topping is browned to your liking. Cool.

Serve with whip cream or ice cream and a caramel sauce.
