Trim ends, cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds with a spoon. Cut into cubes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat squash, onions, and apples with the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast in preheated oven until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. In a large stockpot, add roasted vegetables and apples. Add thyme and water or stock.
