Crock Pot Butternut Squash With Brown Sugar and Cinnamon

I found this recipe in a cook book that I bought from the local high school marching band booster club. This is a great way to cook butternut squash, and it's very easy to make. Use a large, wide round or oval crock pot for best results.

• Ready In: 6 hrs 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  large  butternut squash, about 3 to 4 pounds
• 1  cup  apple juice
• 4  tablespoons butter, melted
• 1⁄4 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Quarter the butternut squash lengthwise, cut stem off, and scoop out seeds. Pour the apple juice into the slow cooker.
2. Combine the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a cup or small bowl.
3. Put two of the squash quarters, cut side up, in the slow cooker. Drizzle with about half of the butter-brown sugar mixture.
4. Place the remaining two squash quarters on the first ones and drizzle with remaining butter-brown sugar mixture.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or until squash is tender.
