Delicious and easy. Added a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice which really added some flavor.

This is a great recipe! I love how festive it is- perfect for the fall! I didn't use the maple syrup because I was afraid it would be too sweet... it turned out great with just the brown sugar and butter! I cooked my squash in a small amount of water after reading comments.. the squash turned out perfectly and equally cooked.
