Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Peel and dice butternut squash into about 1-inch cubes.
Mix together the spices, ghee or oil, nut butter, lemon juice and maple syrup. Add a bit of water if too thick (should be like a thick dressing).
In a bowl, pour 2/3 of the mixture over squash and toss, covering all the pieces evenly.
Place squash on a baking sheet and into oven for 20 minutes.
Mix apple into remaining sauce mixture.
Remove squash from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Alternate apple and squash pieces on skewers.
Put back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until both are soft.
