Quick Fall Favorites: Baked Apples, Butternut Squash

Everyone loves fall food, including me! Here are some tasty things I like to make in the fall.

Baked Apples

1. Choose whatever kind of apple you want. To do this recipe the true Speeding Rainbow way, simply pick out the cheapest apples at the grocery store.
2. Find a baking dish that looks like it will fit the amount of baked apples you want to make.
3. Put a bit of water at the bottom of the pan; 1cm or so high.
4. Slice your apples and put the slices in the pan. They should be all cuddly with each other.
5. Add however much of the following you care for on top of your apples: cinnamon, sugar, brown sugar, nutmeg, oatmeal.
6. Bake covered with aluminum foil for 20 minutes at 375-400 degrees.
7. Uncover and bake another 20 minutes or so.
8. Eat as much deliciousness as you want without feeling guilty because it's fruit after all. Impress your friends, who may think this is a really difficult dish to make because it is so tasty.


Butternut Squash

Halve your butternut squash, place it flesh-down on a baking pan covered with aluminum foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes at 400 degrees. Then eat the insides! (not the seeds or peel). For bonus points make baked apples and butternut squash at the same time so they can be oven friends.
