Autumn Apple Butternut Squash and Pork Roast

I had this roast at my Great Aunt's house in Mississippi last week. I was craving it for days before I got a chance to make it for lunch today. If it is possible this meal actually tasted like Fall. Thank you Aunt Charlotte for your hospitality and all the great meals you made especially for me!
