How to Make Acorn Squash And Apples

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut acorn squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/4 cup raisins, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until apples are tender and the mixture is slightly thickened.
  5. Spoon the apple mixture evenly into the acorn squash halves.
  6. Place the filled squash halves in a baking dish and add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the dish.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the filling is bubbly. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the squash; it should easily pierce the flesh.
