Heaping ½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup raisins
4 Cups all-purpose flour
1 Cup white sugar
1 Cup brown sugar
1 ½ Cups butter, chilled (3 sticks)
¾ Cups Oatmeal
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a 10 x 15” baking dish.
Cut the squash into halves and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Remove seeds, scoop out flesh and chop into small pieces. In a large pan, cook squash in lemon juice until tender. Add 1 cup brown sugar, 2 heaping t. cinnamon, nutmeg & cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Add raisins.
In a large bowl, combine flour, brown and white sugars, oatmeal and cinnamon. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir half of dry mixture into squash. Press half of remaining dry mixture into bottom of prepared pan. Spread squash over bottom crust, and sprinkle balance over the top. Sprinkle top with cinnamon.
Bake 35-40 minutes or until top is golden. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Sounds (and looks!) very good, almost like a mock apple crisp. Love having ideas for all the squash tumbling out of the garden :)
 
I'm thinking hmmmmm...is there a way to make a savory crisp...I'm not big on sweets and don't have an event where more people would be here to help eat it--just two of us and ... well that's a lot of dessert for 2 people! Did you try freezing any of it? It looks really good. I like to make pear crisp (the only way I eat pears) once the pears are ripe.

We are just two, as well ; but a hefty portion goes to work with me on Mondays, when I do a "serves a bunch" dish...... That being said, no, I've never frozen this, as there's never a reason to !:LOL:
 
CWS ... we are just 2, too so when I make apple crisp (or blueberry or cherry or pear), I make the amount in the recipe and freeze 1/2. I don't freeze them together, I freeze the filling in another pan and the topping in a baggie (I don't put it on the bottom like you did LT, but that is an awesome idea).
