Delicious Butternut Squash, Apple, and Onion Au Gratin Recipe

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 0.25 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch cinnamon
• 1 butternut squash - peeled, seeded and sliced
• 4 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
• 0.5 sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x11 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. In a large plastic bag, combine flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add the butternut squash, apples, and onions, then shake until they are lightly coated with the mixture.
3. In the prepared glass dish, layer half of the butternut squash, apples, and sweet onion mixture. Pour 1/2 cup of chicken stock over the top, then sprinkle with half of the cheese. Layer the remaining butternut squash, apple, and onion mixture. Pour the remaining chicken stock over the top, and cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften and flavors to meld.
5. Remove the foil and sprinkle the bacon crumbles and remaining cheese evenly over the top. Return the dish, uncovered, to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let the au gratin sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to cool slightly.
