Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • ½ pumpkin(s) (butternut squash)
  • 1 apple
  • 1 tsp pumpkin seed oil
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar cream
  • 1 tbsp honey (acacia honey)
  • 1 tbsp crème fraîche
  • some butter for the casserole dish

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Dessert

Peel the butternut squash and cut into thin slices (2-3 mm thick). Peel the apple and cut into slightly thicker slices, ideally 0.5 cm thick. Mix the remaining ingredients. Toss the squash and apple slices in the mixture. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Layer everything in a buttered casserole dish. Bake for about 30 minutes at 200°C (400°F). Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking. Note: I use the lower, “bulbous” part of the butternut squash for soup, and I use the upper part (the neck) for this dessert, as it contains no seeds and is all flesh, which makes it easy to slice.
