This turned out very well. My mom and I discussed what should replace the green bean casserole no one ever eats, and she suggested something like this. I went hunting and was pleased to find this one. Made no adjustments. I think I layered it differently than these pictures indicate most people do. That's about it. Thanks. :)

I really liked this... made it last year but forgot to rate. I added cinnamon and used nutmeg instead of mace, since I didn't have any on hand

Very tasty. I used brown sugar "twin" and a golden delicious apple. The recipe didn't specify where to add the flour, so I just skipped it.

I loved the mace with the apple squash. I used a "Snow" apple (I think) I live close to an orchard and they do not mind if we pick up ground apples so I don't always know the kind. I think I would love to mash the apples and squash together, not enough to puree them just to blend them together. Thanks KimmyO - enjoyed the recipe very much
