Ingredients

  • 1 acorn squash, halved and seeds removed
  • 1 apple, diced
  • 1 TBS brown sugar
  • 2 TBS nuts, walnuts or pecans
  • 2 TBS butter, divided
  • salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉. Cut the acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halved cut side up in a baking dish.
  • Add a bit of water to the bottom of the dish to help steam the squash while baking. Brush each half with 1 TBS of melted butter and lightly sprinkle with salt.
  • In a small bowl, mixed diced apple, brown sugar, nuts and the remaining 1 TBS of butter (melted).
  • Stir until the apples are well coated and the sugar starts to dissolve slightly.
  • Spoon the apple mixture evenly into the center of each squash half. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the apples are caramelized. Remove foil during the last 10 minutes to let the tops brown slightly.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
