River City Farmers Market

It’s Pumpkin carving time, and you can find lots of pumpkins at the River City Farmers Market right now, along with fall squash, for eating as well as decorating for the upcoming holidays. The time of year for roasting marshmallows and  hot dogs over an open fire and watching the autumn leaves drift to the ground.

Many of us are hunting up old recipes and new for our holiday baking and I found one for you to try:

Butternut Apple Crisp
Ingredients: 1 small butternut squash   3 tart apples   ¼ cup honey   2tbsp. Lemon juice
¾ cup brown sugar   1 tbsp cornstarch   1tsp cinnamon   ½ tsp salt   1.5oz box raisins    1tsp all spice

Oat topping:  ½ cup all purpose flour   ½ cup oats   ¼ cup brown sugar   6tbsp butter   ¼ cup chopped pecans(walnuts)   ¼ cup gran0la

Wash,  core, peel, dice or slice squash and apples together, add remaining ingredients and mix well. Transfer to 9 x 13 baking dish and baked covered 20 minutes at 375%.  Remove from oven, sprinkle with topping and place back in oven and bake uncovered an additional 25 minutes or till bubbly and slightly browned. Cool   Top with cool whip or ice cream and serve     Enjoy!!

You can find the squash, apples and possibly honey and nuts at the market.
