Dump the onion, garlic, butternut squash, and apple into your slow cooker. Don't worry about perfect knife work here — it's all getting blended anyway.
Mix everything around so it's distributed evenly.
Sprinkle in all your spices and the stock powder. Give it another good mix. (Toast those cumin seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds before grinding if you want extra depth)
Pour in the water and stir one final time to distribute everything.
Set your slow cooker to low and let it do its thing for 7-8 hours. The squash should be completely tender and falling apart.
Use an immersion blender to puree everything right in the pot until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning — you'll probably want more salt.
