Roasted Butternut Squash with Apples

I found this recipe on the inside wrapper of the butternut squash package from Costco (they sell it already peeled, seeded and cubed, and it's amazing). I made it on a whim because the squash needed to be used that day, before it went bad, and I didn't have any great ideas. Dickson, Jada, and I ate ALL of it. It was that good.

1 lb butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed (1" chunks)
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and cubed (1" chunks)
2 Tbls water
3 Tbls butter, melted
3 Tbls honey
1/4 cup pecans, diced
cinnamon, to taste
nutmeg, to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put squash and apple in an 8x8 baking dish. Add 2 Tbls water, and put in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. While it is roasting, melt the butter in the microwave; add honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pecans.

After the squash has roasted for 20 minutes, pour the butter/honey mixture over the squash and apples and stir to coat. Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
