Recipe - Roasted Buttercup Squash And Baked Apples

4 pound Buttercup squash, turban
squash or
Butternut squash, halved
crosswise,
Seeds scraped out
Olive oil
Fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground
pepper
4 lg Cortland apples; cored

Preheat the oven to 375#161#F. Rub the cut sides of the squash with the
olive oil. Sprinkle with thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper. Put
the squash halves cut sides down on a baking sheet and bake until tender,
about 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, stand the apples in a glass or ceramic baking dish large enough
to hold them comfortably. When the squash has baked for 15 minutes, put the
apples in the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until
soft and puffed up. Turn the apples as necessary during baking so that they
will cook evenly.

To serve, transfer the apples to plates with a spatula and spoon their
baking juices on top. Cut each piece of squash in half again and serve
alongside the apples.
