Crock Pot Butternut Squash With Brown Sugar and Cinnamon

Description: 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.

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

Steps:

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.
