Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Place squash in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain. Cooked squash should equal 2 cups.
Step 2
Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, and apple. Stir frequently until softened and brown, about 15 minutes. Add butternut squash and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add milk and cheese. Stir until cheese melts and sauce reaches desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
