For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of regular melted butter for the cornflake topping. Acorn squash can be substituted for buttercup squash, but the cooking time may vary slightly. This casserole can be assembled a day in advance. Just add the cornflake topping and bake the next day for optimal freshness. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or other nuts can be used instead. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple mixture for extra warmth.
