Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Place squash in a saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil, then 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, apple, and garlic; cook and 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; stir in milk and cheese until cheese melts and sauce reaches desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
