    Its in the oven now. I used McCormick "apple pie spice" mix instead of allspice, cinnamon separately. I also used Land O Lakes Cinnemon Sugar spread (same calories, but 1/3 sodium as Can't Believe Its Not Butter). I used a diced granny smith apple. Can't wait to taste it. - 12/18/11

    Bad
    I don't know how else to rate this, I wish it turned out! I followed the recipe EXACT. After 45 minutes my apples were getting burnt but the squash was still firm. At an hour my squash still wasn't done and the apples were dried. Was really bummed. - 11/6/11
