Step 1: Cutting an acorn squash can be tough. Place squash on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut acorn squash in half and scoop out seeds. Cut off a bit of the bottom of the squash so that it will sit flat in the baking dish.

Step 2: Place acorn squash in baking dish. Using a fork, poke holes into the flesh of the squash. Put a 1/2 T of butter and divide a 1/4 c. brown sugar into each half.

Step 3: Place in 400 degree oven for 35 minutes.

The Apple Stuffing

I would love for you to subscribe to my YouTube Channel here.

Oh my goodness-this stuffing is absolutely scrumptious!

Step 3: While the acorn squash is baking, core and dice the apple and chop the walnuts. I use a nut grinder like this to chop walnuts-it reminds me of my mom and grandma cooking, but you can get a much more modern one here.

Step 4: Put 1 T of butter in a frying pan on medium heat. Add apples, cranberries, 1/4 c. brown sugar, walnuts and cinnamon. Cook until apples are soft and golden. This smells divine. I use an Olive wood spoon when cooking-I find them much that a regular wooden spoon.

Step 5: After squash has cooked about 35 minutes, remove from oven and fill the squash with the stuffing mixture, Pop it back into the oven until the squash is fork tender.

Step 6: Drizzle squash with maple syrup.

Step 7: Enjoy! Your friends and family will love this recipe. It’s a perfect side dish on chilly nights and beautiful enough to serve for your holiday entertaining.
