Comments
I have reduced the sugar in the filling to 1/2 cup (and even less) with good results.
We made a small revision to remove the corn syrup from this recipe. It tastes plenty sweet and that's one less ingredient!

We love this recipe at our house. We do skip the corn syrup and add 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple juice. Reducing the sugar to 1/2 cup is still delicious and very sweet. We top with low-fat vanilla yogurt.
i replaced the apples and butternut squash with peaches it was delicious
This recipe is very delicious. Would be perfect for fall.
