SEASONING MIX ----------------
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
1/8 tsp cloves, ground
1/2 tsp coriander, ground
3 x buttercup squash
2 cup red apples, peeled and chopped
1 cup bananas, sliced
1/4 cup apple juice
4 tbl nonfat dry milk
Instructions:
Instructions: Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Cut all the squash in half crosswise and scrape out all the seeds and membrane. A melon baller works best for this but you can also use a spoon.

Cut the meat from one squash into 1 inch cubes. Cut a thin slice from the ends of the other two squash shells so that they stand up without tipping. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Preheat a heavy 10 inch skillet, preferably nonstick, over high heat to avout 350F, about 4 minutes. Place the cubed squash, the apples, and the bananas in the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally for 4 minutes.

Add 1 cup of the apple juice and the seasoning mix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and begun sticking to the skillet, about 20 minutes. Transfer 2 cups of the mixture from the skillet to a blender or food processor. Add 1/2 cup apple juice, the dry milk, and the artificial sweetener to the blender or food processor and puree. If the mixture is too thick to puree properly, add another 1/4 cup juice.

Return the pureed mixture to the skillet and blend thoroughly with the other ingredients. Place the squash shells in a 10 inch round pie pan and fill each shell with 1/4 of the blended mixture. Pour the remaining apple juice into the pan, and bake until the squash is fork tender, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.
