How to Make Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash Microwave Style
- Preheat your microwave.
- Cut one medium acorn squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds and stringy fibers using a spoon.
- Place the squash halves cut-side down in a microwave-safe dish. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the bottom of the dish.
- Microwave on high for 7 minutes, or until the squash is almost tender.
- 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).
- Once the squash is almost tender, carefully flip the halves cut-side up.
- Spoon the apple mixture evenly into the center of each squash half.
- Microwave, covered, on high for another 5 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the filling is heated through.
- Let stand in the microwave for 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
