I love a good baked vegetable dish. Squash and apples are a great combination, especially with a hint of maple syrup and some warm spices. This makes a great side to bring to a potluck or just enjoy at home :)

- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup chopped dates (optional)
- 1/2 tablespoon pure maple syrup or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- Combine all ingredients into an oven safe dish and stir to fully coat.
- Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until squash is tender. Stirring 2-3 times while baking to rotate the squash and apples.
