1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and dice the butternut squash, then peel, core, and slice the apples. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced butternut squash, sliced apples, sautéed onion and garlic, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

7. Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the topping is golden brown.
