Apples and Butternut Squash Pair in an Easy Casserole

We had left over pork tenderloin for dinner last night and I wanted to dress it up with a lovely and delicious side dish... so I chose this apple and butternut squash casserole.  This is a dish we have enjoyed several times over the past few years.  I cannot recall where the original recipe came from but I know I have reduced the amount of butter and sugar!

It is sweet and savory at the same time, and has a nice soft, creamy texture. It smells soooo good while it is in the oven, cooking.  If you like, toss in a few raisins and add 1 P+ to the total.
