How to enjoy squash - part I


I have decided that I love squash. There are so many possibilities! Here's one I came up with recently:


  • Cut an acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds.  Place in a baking dish.
  • Cut up an apple.
  • Chop up some nuts - I used pecans but walnuts would work well too.  About 1/2 c is probably what I used.
  • Mix apple, nuts, a bit of butter (cut), and a dusting of cinnamon.  Divide this and put it in the two halves.
  • Pour about 1 Tbsp of maple syrup over each half.
  • Put water into the pan with the squash so that its about 1/2" deep.  Cover with foil and bake the whole thing in the oven for 40-60 min at 400, until the squash is cooked.
  • Enjoy!
