I enjoyed the flavors in this easy side dish. The curry really adds a taste of something different & the tiny bit of cayenne adds a little spark. I reduced this to use 1 squash. I probably wouldn't rush to add the apple next time unless I had one needing to be used. I think the recipe would be fine without it but I am not a big fan of cooked apples anyway. Thank you for sharing your creative idea and I look forward to more of your contest entries!
