4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick; 56g) salted butter, divided
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
2 medium firm-sweet apples (about 12 ounces total; see Notes) peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges

1
Preheat the oven to 350F and set an oven rack to the middle position.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and broth.
3
In a large bowl, toss the squash with the cheese, cream mixture, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper.
4
Pour into a gratin or baking dish, cover with foil, and bake until the squash is tender, 35 to 45 minutes, turning the dish and removing the foil halfway through.
5
Remove from the oven and set aside.
6
Leave the oven on.
7
Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the onion, and cook until it begins to brown, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8
Add the rosemary, the remaining 114 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
9
Add the apples, and cook until they are tender and beginning to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes.
10
Spread evenly over squash.
11
Turn the broiler to high.
12
In a food processor, pulse the bread with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the garlic, and nutmeg to create coarse breadcrumbs.
13
Sprinkle over the squash and apples.
14
Broil, uncovered, until the topping is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
15
Let rest for at least 20 minutes before serving.
