Process

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add leeks and sautee, stirring, they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add sherry and sage and cook until liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 3 minutes; set aside.
In a 2-quart shallow baking dish, arrange squash in overlapping layers; season with salt and pepper. Spread leeks evenly over the squash.
Arrange apples in an overlapping layer over the leeks. Brush apples with remaining tablespoon oil. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake 45 minutes.
Uncover and sprinkle Parmesan or pancetta over the top. Turn on broiler, and place baking dish back in the oven. Broil until Parmesan or pancetta is browned on top. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with sage leaves.
