Pre heat oven to 400 degrees.

1. Place ribs in one layer in a shallow roasting pan, meaty side up.

2. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon thyme.
Bake for 45 minutes until well browned.
(Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for 1 day. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)

3. Spoon fat from pan and reduce temperature to 350°.

4. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter; add onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme. Stir in 2-3/4 cups apple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Heat to boiling.

6. In a cup or small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1/4-cup apple juice. Gradually add to hot liquid and stir until slightly thickened.

7. Pour juice mixture evenly over ribs. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour.

8. Cut each squash into 8 wedges and each apple in half, discarding seeds and cores. Add squash to ribs; spoon some of pan liquids over them and bake, covered, for 30 minutes.

9. Add apples, baste again; cover, and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until ribs and squash are tender.

10. Remove from pan and place on serving platter; reduce liquids over burner, if desired. Serve immediately, passing juices separately.
