Ingredients:
- 3 Delecata or Buttercup squash
- Butter melted as needed
- 5 oz. brown sugar

- Wash and cut squash in half lengthwise. Scrape out seeds.
- Brush surface and cavity with melted butter. Place close together cut side down on baking sheet. This helps squash cook faster without drying by retaining steam.

- Turn cut side up and brush again with butter. Sprinkle cavities with sugar, salt, sherry and sliced apples.
- Bake 10-15 minuets more, until surface is glazed
