How to Make Apple Cream Cheese Stuffed Acorn Squash Microwave

  1. Preheat your microwave. Cut one medium acorn squash in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the seeds and stringy pulp.
  2. Place the acorn squash halves, cut-side down, in a microwave-safe dish. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the dish.
  3. Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the squash flesh. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave and the size of the squash.
  4. While the squash cooks, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice), and 4 ounces (113g) of softened cream cheese. Gently mix until well combined. Stir in 1/4 cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional).
  5. Once the squash is tender, carefully flip the halves cut-side up.
  6. Spoon the apple cream cheese mixture evenly into the cavity of each squash half.
  7. Microwave on high for another 5-7 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the squash is tender. Again, cooking time may vary.
  8. Let the stuffed squash rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
