  3. Lay the mixture out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the squash is barely tender.
  4. Transfer the squash and apples into a greased casserole dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the melted butter, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
