Ingredients
Scale
- 4 whole Delicata Squash, cut in half and seeded
- 1 1/2 cups Panko bread crumbs (can use gluten free)
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 2 medium/large Fuji apples, finely cubed
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 8 ounces chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F bake or 325°F convection.

- In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients except the maple syrup. Stir until completely combined.
