Pumpkin And Apple Bake

This is a very simple recipe that I happened to use with petite pumpkins and apples. However, the fruit can be changed out to be any sliced fruit you want to use. I've also done this with apples, pears, and oranges together.

Ingredients:

• 4 small pumpkins, peeled, seeded and sliced lengthwise into 16 pieces each
• 8 granny smith apples, cored and sliced lengthwise into 8 pieces each
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp. apple pie spice
• 3 Tbsp. butter, cut into small pieces

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the apples and pumpkin slices together in a bowl with a little lemon juice so they can stay brilliant in color.

On a lined 9x12 inch cookie sheet, layer the pumpkin slices and the apple slices in an alternating fashion. There should be 2 - 3 long rows of fruit.

Sprinkle the fruit with the sugar and spices. Dot with the butter, then bake for until you can smell the apples baking.

Serve with ice cream or just warm by itself.
