Roasted Butternut Squash & Apple Risotto

A super yummy side dish for any meal right here! Easy to prepare, especially using my Creamy Risotto in the Microwave recipe! Of course you could add the squash and apples to any cooked rice, but the risotto is really good! The roasted apples add a slight sweetness to the whole dish and the family just loved it. I know yours will too!
