How to Make Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash Microwave Style

1. Preheat your microwave.

4. Microwave on high for 7 minutes, or until the squash is almost tender.
5. While the squash cooks, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/4 cup dried cranberries, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons chopped celery (optional).
6. Once the squash is almost tender, carefully flip the halves cut-side up.
7. Spoon the apple mixture evenly into the center of each squash half.
8. Microwave, covered, on high for another 5 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the filling is heated through.
9. Let stand in the microwave for 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
