  We present spatially resolved mid-infrared spectroscopy of the class
I/flat-spectrum protostellar binary system SVS20 in the Serpens cloud core. The
spectra were obtained with the mid-infrared instrument T-ReCS on Gemini-South.
SVS20-South, the more luminous of the two sources, exhibits a mid-infrared
emission spectrum peaking near 11.3 \micron, while SVS20-North exhibits a
shallow amorphous silicate absorption spectrum with a peak optical depth of
$\tau \sim 0.3$. After removal of the the line-of-sight extinction by the
molecular common envelope, the ``protostar-only'' spectra are found to be
dominated by strong amorphous olivine emission peaking near 10 \micron. We also
find evidence for emission from crystalline forsterite and enstatite associated
with both SVS20-S and SVS20-N. The presence of crystalline silicate in such a
young binary system indicates that the grain processing found in more evolved
HAeBe and T Tauri pre-main sequence stars likely begins at a relatively young
evolutionary stage, while mass accretion is still ongoing.
