In a cast iron skillet or frying pan, sauté onions and apples in olive oil until the onions are translucent. Add all seasonings and toss to coat. Remove from heat.
Once the squash is cool enough to handle, remove skin and seeds placing squash and some of the vegetable stock into a blender and blend until smooth.
