Ingredients

1 butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
0.25 cup butter, divided
0.25 cup brown sugar, divided
0.13 teaspoon apple pie spice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet for easy cleanup.
Place the butternut squash halves, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. In the cavity of each squash half, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven until the squash skin is crispy and the flesh is tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 1 hour. Let the squash cool until it's easy to handle, around 10 minutes.
Scoop the cooked squash flesh into a large bowl. Add the remaining butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of apple pie spice. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, whip the squash mixture until it reaches a light and fluffy consistency.
