Apple and Butternut Squash Casserole

I'm always looking for new recipes to serve at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I also plan for Easter and any other family gatherings, church events, block parties and...... well, always researching new recipes.
We still have our favorite go-to traditional family recipes that we've made for years. Some of the dishes that are always on the menu are..... Potato Salad for every Picnic, Corn Timbale and Cranberry Mousse for Thanksgiving, Almond, Apricot, Amaretto Mousse, Hot Buttered Rum and Steamed  Puddings for Christmas. We also make a great Baked French Toast Casserole for Christmas Morning Brunch and then we have the Best of the Best recipes that are family favorites. Bread Pudding, Tex-Mex Corn Dip, Blueberry Blackberry Cornmeal Cake, Original Homemade Salsa, my original Sangria and more.
