Preparation

Step 1

Butter an 11x7-inch baking dish. Heat oven to 350°.

Step 2

In a bowl, pour the half and half over bread cubes and set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine eggs, sugars, acorn squash, apples, walnuts, melted butter, spices, and vanilla; blend well. Pour acorn squash mixture over soaked bread and stir to blend.

Step 4

Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until set.

Step 5

Sauce:
In medium sauce pan, mix together the sugars, butter and milk and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and cinnamon. Serve warmed, over bread pudding

When I make acorn squash as a side for another meal, I always make extra so that I can use it in different recipes that call for pumpkin or butternut squash.
